Jun 3, 2009 Bottle that I picked up from Bellingers Garage, Grove, near Wantage, Oxon, consumed 02-06-09 Pours a muddy puddle brown with off-white head. Aroma is alcohol, old leather and some rich dark fruit pudding. Taste is initially a little harsh from the alcohol, its very rich, there is a bitterness there and a strange slight dustiness about things, quite fruity as well. I’ve got to be honest this isn’t really my thing and I couldn’t finish it, I think that it’s a little rough around the edges, maybe with a bit of age on it, it might mellow out a little.

Jan 29, 2009 Bottle, Carringtons, Chorlton. Murky dark orange colour with an off white head that became....headless. Fragrant, sweet malt, thick cut marmalade, grassy hop aroma. Niiiice. Flavour was sweet cherry, yeast, booze, then bitter. Dug it.

Cloudy amber color; creamy head. Medium sweet caramel aroma, with a milky edge, light fruitness and yeast, soapy maybe. Medium sweet caramel flavor, with a touch of unpleasant vegetables, but the rest is good, with a good bitterness too; light nutty touch; it has some rough and yeasty character found usually in Cask Ales; strong ending bitterness. Quite good, but not exciting, even if the glass keeps getting interesting as I drink it…
