Sep 1, 2008 Cask at the Hobgoblin, Reading. Reddish chestnut with a thin cream head; rich, almost meaty aroma; rather thin and oily in the mouth; combination of nutty and purple fruit flavours with a touch of vanilla;gentl bitter finish with some burnt caramel; warming and slightly spicy. Complex and interesting, would be even better with more body.

Deep mahogany, small head. Fruity sweet and treacly cake aroma. Sweet and malty in the mouth. A burnt finish, which is a bit woody and between smoky and ashy. Very pleasant well balanced mellow full-bodied brew. Utterly sessionable, and I’d enjoy every drop.

Dec 21, 2007 Cask at Far From the Madding Crowd, Oxford, 20-12-07 Mid brown colour, reasonable dark malty fruity bitter but lacking in individuality, I sort of forgot about this half way through.

Oct 17, 2007 (Cask) Deep dark coppery colored, medium sized beige head. Toffee and caramel in mildly hopped and crispy aroma, cask-lemon tone also here. Thin to medium bodied. Flavor is even roasted with this same chocolaty-toffee tone, bitterness comes in aftertaste with lemon. Good cask.

Dark ruby - nut brown color, good creamy beige head. Nutty, flowery hoppy aroma. Medium-bodied, flowery hoppy flavor - some caramellish notes. Basic but solid sweetish session beer.
