downender (4186) - Bristol, Gloucestershire, ENGLAND - MAY 27, 2007

Cask-conditioned at the Inn on the Green, Bristol. Amber coloured with a moderate head. Aroma of caramel and red fruits. Flavour was of rich malt with a dry finish. Pretty good but extra alcohol didn’t add a great deal.

FatPhil (5973) - Tallinn, ESTONIA - JAN 21, 2008

500ml bottle (Kolme Kaisaa, Helsinki)<bt> Mid orange, alas poured with a bit of yeast so was quite hazy. Slightly sour fruity aroma, maybe wild strawberry. Alas a bit yeasty, but a good full bodied bitter taste. There’s a bit too much sour taste, maybe from the yeast? Finish is dense, some bitterness from burnt malt, almost like an espresso. Not as good as the old Eldridge Pope beer of the same name.
