I really liked it, but I wonder what it would be like from a bottle. albert007 (409), Penobsquis, New Brunswick, Canada
| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/20 | Jul 30, 2005 Hmmm... cask from a pub in somewhere Essex, near Chigwell...all i can remember. Light brown with foamy head. Aroma of tires, to tell the truth. There is some malt, but the tire smell was overpowering. Taste was mildly hoppy for a bitter, while also being a bit bland. Drinkable, not quaffable, if you canm handle the tire smell. bitter (1137), Henderson, Nevada, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 9, 2004 Cask. Brown with white head. This is a lot darker than it used to be. Sweet with some hops. I would like to try this again as not sure this was really right, as not in the cellar long enough.

I drank this fine brew in Dunbar, Scotland (Home of Belhaven) a few years ago. We were in a mansion mounted on a cliff overlooking the North Sea... absolutely magical. Fine nutty and roasted malt balance with a fantastic smooth hop finish. Lovely!
