Mar 21, 2005 Dark hazy copper, off-white head. Earthy and salty nose, dry sandy malts. Mellow and husky. Spicy and almost lemony hops. Stale global character. Quite heavily carbonated, light bodied and oily feel.

Aug 20, 2005 Bottle 500ml. Darksih red ale, thin beige head. Good dark fruit and berry(strawberry?) aromas with caramel/toffee some roasted malt notes. Good in mouth some sweetness some roast malt coffee/caramel which carries on to end which is dry. OK, but would be better in winter than August

Mar 22, 2005 The Lure:
Sweet golden syrup undermining the green, herbal hoppiness. Cranberries attempt a perfume, but scant ashes bring them down. All is quite subdued and thus near silent.
The Festivities:
Chalky hoppiness is a bit harsh, but the near-cask feel and fruity interplay of this bottle are interesting. Nothing outstanding to say the least.
Transcendence:
Spring roads are definitely not the smoothest driving.

Oct 22, 2007 A Mes rate: Cask at Baker Street ’Sporks.
Amber brown with a slim off white head and lots of lacing. Sweet caramelly malt, aroma with some slight hops underneath. Full flavoured with a nice tobacco and malt finish.

Mar 21, 2005 Mild spicy, herbal hop nose dissipates quickly leaving a caramel malt aroma. Red-amber with excellent clarity and a decent cover of tan head. Malty caramel flavour with some balancing bitterness. Nice dry finish leaves this one very easy to drink with medium body and moderately low carbonation. Bottle sampled with Lubiere, MartinT and Rastacouere.
