Body was thin and drying, slightly sour, with more choclate notes and a dry-roast finish. Possibly not a good example, sadly. asheft (1398), Marburg, Germany

Very fruity aroma with bananas, cherries, strawberries. Also molasses and black pepper notes in the nose. Clear, nearly opaque garnet with a bubbly, beige ring. Salty roasted malt flavour with a very pleasant burnt almond finish and moderate bitterness. Light body, low carbonation, dark malt bitter finish. MesandSim (5835), London, Greater London, England
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 5, 2009 A Mes rate. Cask handpull at the Bree Louise. Deep mahogany coloured with a very thin beige film topping. Superb deep dark fruity malt with lashings of creamy caramel and burnt sugar. Not as overly sweet as my description implies. Good chalky bitterness in the finish. A little straight forward but well balanced and loveable. imdownthepub (5139), Banbury, Oxfordshire, England
