Nothing that distictive in the flavour - hops, rotten apples, some flowery sweetness - but still a good pint. Very smooth and paletable. Dark sugar? Nice pint. FatPhil (3483), Espoo, Finland

Cask (obviously) at some random boozer just off Oxford St. Bit of an old faithful. Yup, I know it probably shouldn’t be but I’m happy with it almost every time. Nothing to say that hasn’t already been documented. A reliable back up plan on many occasions. bhensonb (4345), Woodland, California, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 26, 2007 Cask at Ye Old Mitre. Malty aroma. Dark amber color with a passing beige head. Starts slightly fruity, followed by malt, a hint of belgian candy. There is hop in the finish, but the malt tends to keep pace. Satisfying.
