Jul 8, 2004 Very dark brown with hints of purple. Aromas are bread, banana, spice and some chocolate. Flavours are fruit and choclolate, quite vineous and malty. Rich with a roast malts dry finish. Nice and smooth on the palate. One of my favourite UK bottled beers.

Jun 16, 2004 Bottled. Something to get your teeth into; let’s do the rounds of adjectives - no, let’s not. It’s a good peaty Islay malt whisky, it sticks to your gills, it taunts Old Peculiar and says ’here’s how to do old ale’.
You really want the description? OK. Smoke, coffee, malt. Just like after a good meal.

Jun 15, 2004 Deep clear light brown color, beautiful off white creamy head that leaves good lacing in my glass. Light malty caramel smokey aroma, sweet nutty and smokey flavors. Medium bodied with a nice rounded soft mouthfeel, some dryness in the lasting finish, I like this one.

Excellent mouthfeel. Slightly sweet, balanced well aginst the hops. Mild alcohol flavor. An excellent British Ale.

Jun 7, 2004 stonefruit, floral hops, caramelised malt, and dark chocolate aromas.
deep ruby red with nice creamy head, very low carbonation.
dark chocolate with dark stonefruit and bitter, flowery, very british hop flavours.
full body, drying dark chocolate bitterness, fizzy on the tip of your tongue.
very dry-stoutish, slow drinking, very nice warming beer with nice head lightening alcohol.

May 27, 2004 500 ml bottle; best before 01/2005 Dark brown with hint of copper and a 1" thick pale yellow rocky head. Aroma of molasses, licorice, with good dark malt and some earthy, musty hop aroma. Flavour is quite simple. Sweet, with hints of licorice. Becomes quite treacly and it followed by a fairly harsh bitterness. Not very well-balanced. Just not a brewery that I enjoy.
