A mid brown coloured beer with a weak head. A musty malt nose, quite a sweet aroma, with a hint of forest fruits. The taste is bitter, the musty, damp malt element is present again, plenty of sweetness, fruity and a touch of caramel. A somewhat dry finish. (Cask - 2007 Peterborough Beer Festival).

May 23, 2008 Cask at The Market Porter, London. A medicinal aroma? Something different. Amber color with an off-white head. Rich reddish amber color. Medium body with mild carbonation. A big pale stone fruit flavor with a little herb or mild spice. Almost suggests a bit of melon. Different. Good. Impressive.

Aug 2, 2006 Cask, handpump @ the Blue Anchor Inn, Helston, Cornwall
With a quiet nervous minute alone with my wife after ordering a pint of this, I reserved myself to the corner only to be bombarded with friendly locals who you could say live off this meal of a drink. It was Friday night and the Anchor was about to hum with patrons. The heat of the day saw me quickly sniff a load of dusty, yeasty notes, old fell fruit and damp, wooden floorboards. Smelt old, musty and somehow full of life, just like the bar. It appeared bright before me; a copper hued brown that sparkled in the light and was donned by a lovely, creamy white head that held out and frosted down the glass. The first sip could not come quickly enough and the flavour was the last thing on my mind. Though it tasted good. It’s smooth, displaying some grandish spices and vinous dark fruits, a belly of dusty malt and a very distinguished bitter/sweet dried fruit edge just on the swallow. It’s faintly medicinal, medium bodied and dusty like tasting a piece of history. A light flavour of figs, wood and deeper malts lingers in the mouth, but hey I just had to keep drinking. Was it the bar, the night or the beer. This was lovely. Cheers to the folk I met. Will be back.

Aug 11, 2005 On draught at the Blue Anchor: Amber coloured, thin fluffy layer; fruity (fruit-cake) and malty nose; gentle sweetish-malty taste becoming drier towards the the bitter, vinous, herbal finish; O.K., but not a sensation......
