bottle from Waitrose Sidmouth (2009). Hazy amber colour, large white head. Aroma of hops and port. Full-bodied, malty, dray, hoppy, hints of port wine. Good.

Bottle. Pours clear mahogany with a large, frothy and bubbly beige head, long retention with good lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (bread, caramel, toast), average hops (earthy, spicy, woody), and average esters (dried fruit) with notes of plum. Flavor is heavy malt (bread, caramel, toast), average hops (earthy, spicy, woody), and average esters (dried fruit) with notes of plum. Medium-full body, medium warmth and carbonation, light creaminess with a dry finish.

Bottle poured a hazy dark copper with an amber head. Aroma was gingerbread, spices, and molasses. Palate is dry. Flavors of bread and spices with a hint of fruitiness. Definatly has a dry fruity finish.

Bottle. Pours an amber body with a 2 finger creamy off white head. Lots of fruit and spices. Caramel malt, lightly bitter. Light etoh orange and cherry. Everything coming together in a great balance. Great!

Not as good as i remeber, quite malty and sticky, nice fruitcake taste, with a decent sticky bitterness, i don’t like it as much as i used to.

Bottle from Sainsburys Kidlington 18-05-06. Dark amber in colour, with a small head. the main component I noticed in the aroma was a wonderful maltiness, tasts was wonderful, complex and deeply satisfying with rich fruitiness and malt vying for attention. A superb beer that I had not had for some time and had forgotten how good it was yummy.

Bottle and I liked. Orange/Amber color with a big frothy head. Aroma is simple, hops and malt. Flavor is malty, bready, yeasty, sweet. More malt on the fnish. Not much hops at all. Sweet for sure, and I liked it dammit!

Bottle. Offwhite head. Dark cobber body. Fruity yet spicy aroma. Lovely bitterness combined with roasted caramel.
