Rating # 2200. Cask @ Royal Oak, Borough. Pours a clear dark amber color with a small off-white head. Has a fruity malty dark fruit aroma. Slightly roasted malty dark fruit flavor with some fruity hints. Has a long fruity dark fruit finish.

Cask at the Royal Oak, Borough. Attractive rich bronze/copper colour with a thin, off-white head. Aroma is dominated by rich, sweet, caramel malt and chewy fruit. Lots of juicy fruit in the flavour, with touches of liquorice and a touch of treacle bitterness on the finish. Distinctly sweet, but not cloying. Something almost Belgian about the overall feel. Nicely done but not really my style - a bit too sweet for my palate.

<i>The Terminus, Eastbourne - a Harvey’s house.</i> Stunning! I love Harvey’s - and this is an awesome beer. Full bodied; initially sweet, soft and spicy, then the hops emerge and linger. The colour is a glowing red. The first hit is orgasmic, and the following flavours and textures twist, linger, vanish, re-emerge, meld, balance briefly then shine individually for a moment like stars. Everything happens. And within and behind all this is a tannic, woody edge - the Harvey’s signature. This, at this moment, is Harvey’s greatest beer - possibly the greatest beer in the world.

<i>Cask at the Royal Oak, London</i><br />Dark amber color. Quite malty aroma. Very round taste, some sweetness, very good malt, lightly <i>fruity</i> &#40;the yeast, I guess&#41;, sweet caramel, the bitterness tries to rise at the end. Excellent.

A dark amber beer with an oily mouth feel&#40;on draft&#41; if its in good condition. Try it at The Royal Oak, the only Harveys pub in London. A very nice warming beer to drink outside on Guy Falks night.
