hughie (2415), Bedford, Bedfordshire, England Oct 27, 2008 Cask, gravity, at Wellington Arms Winter Festival of Ale. Dark amber. Pleasant malty aroma. Lovely taste: sweet, ashy and fruity. Mid bitter finish. Excellent. And this was beer #1 of the day, so it must have been seriously good... Maria (4761), Thisted, Denmark Dec 13, 2007 Mahogany res with a nice head. The aroma is fresh with lots of hops and malt and notes of fruit. The flavour has notes of roasted malt, light sweetness and a pronounced, dry bitterness. This beer has a interesting and good balance, that I like very much. johndoughty (1692), cheslyn hay, West Midlands, England Feb 8, 2007 Bottle.
