Cask Conditioned at Woodfordes Brewery, Woodbastwick. Dar black / red beer with malty head. A deep fruity beer with a sweet malty character. Smooth mellow flavours with loads of interest. My favourite Woodfordes, straight from the Brewery.

Aug 31, 2008 [500ml bottle from The Little Beer Shop, Blofield, Norfolk] Gave this as a gift to my brother Jim, but he shared it with me anyway - cheers mate! Pours a deep ruby-black with no head. Tastes of liquorice & chocolate, but is a little weak and watery for the style. Slight bitterness, some malt. Follows through into a very dry, saddle-leather aftertaste. Not bad.

Aug 19, 2008 Cask@GBBF2008. Deep ruby red colour, not much head. Aroma is mild coffee, some dark berries and fruits along with mild sweetish wooden notes. Also some mild notes of raisins. Flavour is malts, raisins, sweetness and some mild coffee. Really pleasant and wellbalanced. Aftertaste is dark fruits and wood.

Aug 9, 2008 Cask at GBBF 08. Dark reddish brown, very still. Aroma is malty but also brings to mind fresh linen. Palate is a bit weak and the treacle character you’d expect from an old ale is lacking.
