3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottled, Pasteurised.
Deep brown with red hue, slight white head. Sweetish full bodied fruity beer with a slight chemical note about it. Plenty of caramel toffee notes but overall fairly decent.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle from Waitrose, Cirencester. Deep copper in colour with a lacy, off-white head. Aroma of sweetmalts, hedgerow fruit and some earthiness. Sweet, malty flavour with a lot more fruit and bitter hop finish. A good bottled beer - streets ahead of the Tanglefoot sampled earlier in the day.

1.8 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
I hope I’m talking about the same beer as everyone else here, but I didn’t like it. Smells like dishwater with a bit of melon. The flavour was malty - and slightly dark - but not sustained. It soon gives way to a nasty finish of ethanol and washing machine water.

UPDATED: JAN 11, 2006 From a bottle.Dark brown in colour,no head,toffee and fudge flavours.A sweet sunblest maltloaf bitter.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Deep red/amber colour. Very nice for a pasteurised bottled bitter. Far better than I was expecting. A good balance of nutty malt, fruit and hops. Clean fruity finish. Bottled (500ml)
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Dark brown/reddish ale withb a slightly burn't and lightly hopped aroma. The flavour is mainly carmel with a dry finish. Overall a nice but plain ale.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
A reddish bitter with malts dominating although there are a range of other flavours present.Fruits are there and as are traces of hops.What may appear on the surface to be a run of the mill strong bitter turns out to be a complex and satisfying drink.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
UPDATED: MAR 31, 2005 Nov, 2003: Bottle. A glowing red brown colour. A decent malty nose. A delicious malt profile - sweet, but not excessive, and nicely balanced by tangy hops. A very enjoyable and satisfying pint. [3.2]
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottled. Chestnut colour, good white head, moderate condition. Caramel, hop and butter aromas, some more buttery diacetyl in the mouth with a hop flavour developing and becoming hop bitter and caramel sweet in the finish.
