May 24, 2007 500ml bottle from Realale.com at Ealing BF 07. Cloudy muddy red/brown colour. Thick lasting beige head. Hop aroma is lovely. Full in mouth. Very good, red berry, full bitter. Sherberty hop aroma. Malts come through too. I really like Oakleaf beers, although it started well, it became poor. Some chalkyness. Starts well, but this chalky mouthfeel is not good and lasts into the finish.

Apr 22, 2007 Bottle. Hazy, deep amber with a nice offwhite head. Lots of caramel and fruit hitting the nose. Caramel flavours with a good fruity middle and a long, hoppy finish. Medium to full body. This beer should keep Rudolf happy.

Nov 17, 2006 BCA (From Bitter Virtue). Copper coloured.Really inviting orangey hop aroma which sits well with the biscuity malts. Some fruitiness in the mouth but this is fairly dry withj a nice rounded bitterness. Simple throughout but delicious. Not particularly christmassy but I’m sure rudolf would love it.

Dec 19, 2004 Cask@The Evening Star, Brighton. Not really Christmasy. Just a nice hoppy pale cask ale. Some grainy malt, with some orange/citrus in the finish, finishes dry and earthy.
