Aug 19, 2007 A Mes rate:
50cl bottle from the Bottle Shop in Bramhall. Mid red brown colour with an explosive head that settled to some fairly grippy tan bubbles. Soapy, wheaty aroma with lots of burnt malt and some herbs. Flavour is heavily burnt roasty malt and not too great in all honesty. Very little else to detect, it seems it has all been burnt in a bad fire. Ohh slight caramel and spice in the finish. Yeah yeah.

Feb 28, 2007 Bottle conditioned, 300ml. Dark brown / ruby with volcanic beige head. Highly conditioned, opening with an explosion of foam, but that was about as lively as the beer achieved. There is a sweet maltiness that gives over to a sourness that puckers the tongue. Some fleshy fruitiness, but hard to detect in the off flavours. Trouble is I was not surprised after my previous bottles from this brewery.

Apr 16, 2006 500ml Bottle from SH Jones, Bicester, 15-04-06. Dark brown malty I found it to be a little bit on the sweet side and whilst ok the most dissapointing of the Leek beers I have picked up so far.

Jul 25, 2004 Although describing itself as a winter warmer I found it to be a very pleasant drink on a reasonably warm summers night.It poured with quite a large head that dissapeared rapidly.Dark and quite malty -all round a nice drink at amy time of the year.
