<i>A Mes rate: Bottle at the Windmill in Ramsgate.</i><br />They don’t sell this at the Windmill, I sneaked it in the back in my rucksack just in case all they had was bobbins and guess what?...<br />Mid orange brown with a slim off white head. Aroma is sweet malt, some dried fruit and a delicate sourness. Flavour is more of the same with a nice hit of coffee and hops at the finish. Pleasant notes of chocolate orange too. Interesting but far from a show stopper.

Cask in Blackfriars. Aroma is peachy and grassy, pale malts dominate. Taste is similar quite sweet but balanced with a grassy note. Seem sto be quite pale compaired to other ratings of this beer?

Gravity dispense at the White Lion, Bristol 22/9/07. Dark amber colour with no head. Rich aroma of red fruit and malt. Flavour was a bit thin but was of sweet malt with a smooth, bitter finish. Ok.

Copper color and a nice head. Aroma of caramel and fruit. The flavour is somewhat thin, but I sense notes of roasted malt and a bit of fruit. The bitterness is reasonable OK. 1533

From bottle. Sweet fruity aroma. Clear copper appearance. Thin spit head with good carb. Lovely crisp deep taste. Slight hint of honey. Great bitter finish.
