johndoughty (1614), cheslyn hay, West Midlands, England May 17, 2008 Bottle. Tawny appearance and a pleasant freshness about it. Slightly malty with a medium body. Impressive. johninmelb (632), Bristol, Gloucestershire, England Jan 25, 2008 Slightly soapy but strongly flowery and spiced nose. Pours ruby/copper with a persistant beige head. Good nutty malt balanced with a strongly dry hoppy bitterness in the flavour consistently from start to lingering, dry finish imdownthepub (4017), Banbury, Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, England Jan 1, 2008 Cask conditioned at The Masons Arms, Marylebone, London. Red brown beer with off white head. A fuller flavoured winter brew for a change, fruity and warming with a touch of hazelnut flavour around. Malty rich but unfortunately a little cloying sweetness too. Still reasonable beer in a very nice pub, good stuff. hughie (2193), Bedford, Bedfordshire, England Dec 26, 2007 Amber with a white head.
