Feb 13, 2006 Cask Conditioned at The Prince Edward, Bayswater, London. Dark reddish amber beer with bubbly head. Smooth fruity soft beer, plenty of plum, grape in the mouth and a touch of pear drop giving a sharpness. Rounded and sweetly short on the finish. Underlying caramel flavour but still thin on the palate. Steay beer but not a winter warmer.

Feb 5, 2006 Toasted malt nose, deep amber, low head. Toffee notes, mostly a light toasted malt. Low bitter - a little too low. Just a slight earthy end. Light, thin, drinkable.

Jan 31, 2006 Cask at The Ship & Shovell, Charing Cross. Attractive bronzy colour. Dryish with some toffee and caramel. Not very rich for a winter ale. Solid but unspectacular. Shame the King & Barnes Old Ale has been elbowed aside to make way for this.

Dec 29, 2005 Pint pulled at The Harbour Inn in Axmouth (Devon), a clear dark amber with a frothy head. A flowery malt aroma (and elderflower?). A little fruit in the flavour along with flavoury malt. Bitter through the mouth.

Dec 16, 2005 Cask handpull at Phoenix, Canterbury. Ruby beer with bubbly thin beige head. Some yeast but also dark red fruit. Winter beers are a bit sweeter I think this year. Touch of vanilla. Smooth sweet fruit finish has yeast and some puckering of the mouth. Quite pleasant with yeast/sour sweet fruit.
