5.2% ruby red colour with a thin head, roast malt aroma, the taste was not too good, maybe I had just had too many reasonable beers before this one.

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Sampled this ale at the Bow Bar in Edinburgh, September 2004. Reminded me more of an old ale in style and taste. Cask, handpump dispense. Ruby black in colour with a tight white creamy head. Strong fruity aroma with a juicy mouthfeel. Dark malt complexes give a rich fruit loaf flavour with syrupy dates & raisins evident. Slight hop prickle noted in the brief aftertaste. Finish is rich and vinous with a strong taste of walnuts in the drying palate. An excellent Old Ale and highly recommended.

Cask. Deep reddish brown ale with minimal head. Fruity aromas, plums and berries, slightly sticky, and yet some sourness cuts through to keep it drinkable. Good warming ale for winter.

Cask (Cambridge Blue, Cambridge)
6 Earthy, bitter and dry.
3+ Passable darkish bitter.
6 Some nuttiness and apples in the retronasals. Full malty palate, not too sweet.
4 Tasty finish, dry in the mouth and well attenuated.
12 However, at the precise moment in time I’m drinking this, it doesn’t match my mood, so it didn’t inspire me.

Cask, Cumberland Arms, Byker, Ncl. Good deep ruby beer, sweet malt rules and dominates the taste buds. Big-bodied, full flavoured.
