UPDATED: AUG 14, 2006 [Cask at Cockney Pub, Århus] A hazy red beer with a lazing tan head. The aroma is sweet with light hoppy notes, while the flavor is sweet malty with medium berry notes as well as light flowery notes, leading to a bitter end.

UPDATED: JUL 3, 2005 (Bottle 50 cl) Dark, clear amber-colour with a thick creamy head. Gets hazier when you approach the bottom from the sediment. And gets pure mudwater if you pour the last finger. Slightly nutty with a dry hoppiness. A nice bitter. 150305

omhper (15600) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - JUN 4, 2004

UPDATED: DEC 23, 2004 Bottled. Nut brown. Dry and dusty, deep and fruity, pleasantly hoppy and raisiny. Clean mouthfeel, bitter finish. O’Hanlon’s have made a great job in recreating this beer. It tastes more or less exactly as I remember Eldridge Pope’s version many years ago.
