3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Sept, 2002: Bottle - Beer Station.This ’first class ale’ is a delicious beer with a strong hit of dark chocolate followed by a long smooth mouthful of malt, finishing with a long sigh of dry, flowery hops. An outstanding example of traditional British ale. [3.1]
Jan, 2005: Bottle - Hepworth. A clean beer with some caramel flavours. Well behaved and quite smooth. [2.9]
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottled. Golden amber colour with a full, attractive, creamy white head. Milk chocolate and caramel aroma. Caramel & nougat flavour. Very smooth, very soft. Easy drinking beer.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
I am not really fond of bitter beers but this one stands out. Nice head, nice bite and rather bitter aftertaste.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottled. Deep ornage colour. Neutral aroma. Sweet and fruity with clean maltiness. A tremendously bitter finish gives the impression that you have been drinking ink.
3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
[cask ale] Good fruity, flowery and hoppy aroma. The flavour is bitter and dry. A good real ale.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Hops are pronounced in this beer in both aroma and flavour. As good a bitter as many others with a nice refreshing character.
