jimthechap (800) - Christchurch, NEW ZEALAND - JAN 12, 2012
Excellent amber with a rocky white head that sat nicely on top of the beer. Aromas tend toward the malt spectrum. Biscuity, coconut rough? Good carbonation, flavours of orange lobes and Anzac biscuits (per the aromas). Not an inordinate amount of hop aroma or bitterness, but a perfectly pleasant pint.

RichardW (929) - Carlisle, Cumbria, ENGLAND - DEC 9, 2011
Cask, Spinners Arms, Carlisle. Dark amber colured beer. Has quite a strong flavour of dry leaves, with burnt tofee and toasted malt notes. Palate has some crisp apple flavour. An unusual tasting beer.

fonefan (25085) - VestJylland, DENMARK - APR 6, 2011

Cask (handpump) @ Cask and Barrel, 115 Broughton Street, Edinburgh, Scotland EH1 3RZ.

Clear medium to dark yellow color with a large, frothy to creamy, good lacing, fully lasting, white head. Aroma is moderate malty, hay, toasted, light to moderate hoppy. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft to flat. [20101029]

Oakes (10191) - Gibsons, British Columbia, CANADA - OCT 6, 2010
Bright copper - looks great. Earthy-fruity nose with a light toast character. Earthy-metallic taste with some woody hops emerging towards the finish. Mostly, I’m not a fan of the overall toastiness of this one.

Cask @ The Raven, Bath (coastal beer fest). Rich copper with nice lace. Aroma is old hops, wet wood, and some sour socks. Sweet malts and a juicy body. Nice toasty malt character too.
