Good nose (with grape). Red brown color, big head. Bitter but with a good malty backbone. Drinkable and decent. (cask at the Scottish Real Ale Festival, Edinburgh, June 2012)
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap @ Moulin. Pours a colour with a red hue and a thin crema head. The nose has demerara sugar and an earthy note. The palate is medium to full bodied with a rich tangy texwture and a bitter finish. Overall, good example of a strong British ale.

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
First tasted this at the Glagow Winter Ale Festival in September 1996. Cask, handpump dispense. Clear dark mahogany in colour with a thick buff coloured head. Strong sweet aromas of malt and figs. Creamy texture to the mouthfeel and good lacing. Mixed malts give a moist maltloaf base and treacle toffee with syrupy fruit notes of dates and plums. Dusty earthy notes of bitter hops give a dryness to the short aftertaste. Sweet malt present in the drying finish with oak cask, cough linctus and liquorice flavours. A bit rough round the edges but an ok Strong Ale. Worth taking a trip to the Moulin Inn and trying all four!
1.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
[cask at Moulin Inn] Of all the Moulin beers, this was my least favourite – it looks a decent deep reddish brown, although there was a fair amount of haze evident. Within thirty seconds it was totally flat. Aromas of malt and a touch of chocolate, on the palate it was sharply bitter, with an off-putting coppery aftertaste that got worse as it went on. The only solution was to drink faster, but that wasn’t an enjoyable option either. The Moulin Inn is lovely - but the beer, unfortunately, is not [30042011]
