Pub (4103), Banbury, Oxfordshire, England Mar 6, 2003 Bottle Conditioned aged 5 years. Bronze, red orange body lasting head. This beer had developed into a smooth honeyed beer, rose wine character, sweet malt and delicate bitter notes. Well worth the effort of long storage, it becomes a classical English Bitter. Georgeous.
Fin (2348), Merton, Oxfordshire, England Nov 19, 2006 Cask at Well House Tavern, Exeter, Devon, 12-11-06. Dark amber coloured beer, very good, fruity robust with a lovely long finish rather liked this. TBone (5115), Pori, Finland Jul 30, 2006 Bottled. (BB 10/2006).
Copper brown color, small off-white head. Interesting (and odd) aroma of metal, yeast, oak and ash. Malty backbone in the medium-strength body, fruity yeastyness and hoppy finish. Some way reminds me about RCH Pitchfork - just not as good as it. DJMonarch (4091), Northwich, Cheshire, England Feb 26, 2006 Cask Stillage at the St John Ambulance Hall, Newton Abbot 08/03/2003
Amber golden coloured and slightly sweet on the palate. Some sour flabour in a malt finish. JonMoore (1551), Loughborough, Leicestershire, England Jan 11, 2006 Bottle conditioned. Copper coloured with a slim off-white head. Sweet malt and light hops in the nose. Flavours are similar, with some citrus and a long bitter finish. Medium bodied, light carbonation. A very nice bitter.
