Finn (1092), Tromsų, Norway Feb 17, 2008 Cask at The Market Porter London Bridge 5 Feb 08. Dark golden colored. No head. Caramellish aroma. Sweet fruity flavor. Some bitterness kicking in. downender (1616), Bristol, Gloucestershire, England Feb 13, 2008 Cask-conditioned at the Berkeley JDW, Bristol 13/2/08. Chestnut coloured with a slight white head. Being a JDW this was served too cold but perked up pretty rapidly. Big malty aroma of caramel, red fruits and earthy hops. Flavour had more malt, some roastiness and a short, yet intense, bitter finish. Very enjoyable. Mungo (2474), Southampton, Hampshire, England Dec 29, 2007 Cask conditioned @ Guide Dog, Soton. Dark malty ale with light roast and dried fruit flavours. Quite drinkable with a little
pleasant mustiness towards the finish. harrisoni (5359), Ashford, Kent, England Mar 7, 2006 Cask handpull at New Inn, Canterbury. Deep copper colour with bubbly beige head. Caramel, toffee, slightly toasty aroma with rich toffee/hop and ginger finish. Very good dry malt aroma. Malty, chewy, bit of ginger spice. Pretty good this. Some roasted malt. SilkTork (3941), Rochester, Kent, England Dec 24, 2005 The Angel, Rainham. A gorgeous roasty ale. Packed full of flavours. Served fresh and in lovely condition. A Winter Warmer or Old Ale - though in the modern lower abv style. Stunning.
