2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottled, 500ml from M&S, Summertown, Oxon. Chestnut with white head. Looks can deceive unfortunately, this looks rich and roasty whereas it proved to be thin and a little wet cardboardy. There is a slight toasted note, but certainly not enough, there is a cabbagey, vegetable hint, boiled grain. I was a little disappointed with this.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Tastes of typical Adnams rhubarb but darker and more malty. Rather thin and lacking depth and interest.

3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
(500ml bottle) Aroma had some malt fireworks ...blasts of dryness and dark fruit covered in syrup. I though this was decent , mellow but respectable ale. Nothing exciting and very old fashioned and repressed in this ever changing world of pulsing craft-beer.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Mahogany in colour with a billowy, off-white head. Aroma of bready malts with a touch of fruit and cardboard. Flavour was sweetish, with solid cereal malts, more (slightly stewed) fruit and an earthy edge, before a moderately bitter finish. Ok.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle from Fosse M&S, chilled. Pours ruby with a patchy beige lid. Some herbal, bay leaf, anise, pecan and trainer aroma right from the off. Beer soft and caramel-accented with hints of aniseed, broccoli and coffee-dunked cardboard. Boring.
