Maria (8585) - Thisted, DENMARK - APR 1, 2007
Bottle, moderate head, good lace, beautiful dark brown color. The aroma isn’t very strong, but I get clear notes of roasted malt. The flavour also has the notes of roasted malt, but also a hint of smoke, caramel and aroma hops/fruit. The finish has a nice bitterness.

Better than I expected, second Fyne Ales’ Ale I like, They are getting better with the time. It is nice to drink, not dark enough to be more attractive but nice.

maeib (6637) - Wootton, Northampton, Northamptonshire, ENGLAND - JAN 21, 2006
Bottle. A dark reddy brown coloured beer with no head. The aroma is full of jammy fruits and malts, quite warming also. The taste is also malty and fruity. Jammy berry flavours and a little woodiness. Tastes bigger than its ABV. A nice drink.

duff (5483) - St, Margarets, Greater London, ENGLAND - NOV 3, 2005
Cask@Twickenham Beer festival. Some slight old man shaving foam in the aroma, which was odd. Lightlty toffeed malt flavour, along with slight hints of chocolate and caramel (in small amounts). Nice fruity (gooseberry??) flavours in there aswell, pretty nice.
