bman1986 (19), Broadstairs, Kent, England Apr 2, 2008 Cask at Artilery Arms - Ramsgate. Very dark in colour with a nice cream/tan head. Quite viscous with a lovely creaminess. Chocolate and christmas cake and a little bit of smokiness. Stunning beer. dnas2 (522), Yelverton, Devon., Devon, England Oct 31, 2007 Cask at The Wellington, Birmingham. Dark red-black with a good short head. Earthy, sulphuric scent. Watery and slightly bitter. Nutty, earthy and slightly sulphuric in the mouth. OK but not great. leaparsons (3802), Leicester, Leicestershire, England May 24, 2007 Cask, Leicester Fest 07. Dark red/bropwn with a beige head. Aromas are sweet, earthy roast malts with winter fruit and some smokiness. Flavours are malty and light with a good roast character. Some citrus towards the finish. OK. Mes_and_Sim (3967), London, Greater London, England Apr 23, 2007 A Mes rate:
Cask at some random Kentish pub somewhere. Red brown colour with a slight tan head and lots of lace. Distinct Sarsons malt vinegar nose with more of the same in the flavour plus a little cherry. Very long medicinal and hoppy finish. Palate is almost a four but like the rest of the beer it’s just not quite there. Phil_L (100), Kent, England Apr 10, 2007 Eddie does brew a good dark ale! Not quite Dog, or the Escape, (exodus)! Very middle of the road, mid dark, mid aroma, mid this - mid that - I had hoped for more. Sorry Ed.
