chris_o (4405), London, Greater London, England Apr 22, 2007 Cask (gravity dispense) at Reading Beer Festival, April 2006. Darkish copper colour. Noticeable toffee and treacle, with a light tangy hop presence to provide reasonable balance. Mouthfeel is a bit sweet for me, with a fair amout of body for a bitter.
johndoughty (1587), cheslyn hay, West Midlands, England Nov 24, 2006 Bottle.Dark with nil carbnation. Slightly bitter and more like a winters ale rather than a bitter. Left no lacing. GarethYoung (1108), Glasgow, Scotland Oct 10, 2006 [Cask at Troonfest] Aroma of toffee and sugared plums. Medium body, slight sweetness upfront, dry finish. Magic_dave6 (3642), London, Greater London, England Oct 8, 2006 Aroma is overly roasted malts, toffee and no hop character really. Taste is similar with a bitter burnt sweetness thats not very good. dnas2 (522), Yelverton, Devon., Devon, England May 24, 2006 Cambridge Beer Festival (Hundpump). Brown with a very, very lively: a huge foamy head. Roasted nuts and toffee. Palate is thick and still.
