duff (5407), Sydney, Australia, Surrey, 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. harrisoni (5359), Ashford, Kent, England Sep 30, 2007 Cask gravity at St Albans BF 2007. Deepish brown with lasting bubbly beige head. Very decent bitter, some tea. Some decent ginger and malt. Very good bitter. Maria (4396), 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. Pub (4119), Banbury, Oxfordshire, England Jan 17, 2005 Bottled, pasteurised. Bright ruby red with very little head. Smooth, fruity, rich autumnal beer with sweetish malty body. Somewhat smokey in the aroma and a little grainy on the tongue, but overall a very decent bottled beer. DJMonarch (4091), Northwich, Cheshire, England Feb 1, 2006 Cask Stillage at the Metropolitan Cathedral Crypt, Liverpool 19/02/2003
Mid brown amber coloured and slightly fruity. Dry lasting finish.
