Nose has chocolate, rich malt, well hopped - reminds me of Aviator Red but harsher. Quite a bit of chocolate, well done rich malt. Some fruitiness, thing mouthfeel. Slightly unpleasent bitter finish zach8270 (2127), Henrietta, New York, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 24, 2006 (cask @ The Old Toad - Rochester, NY) Rich amber color with a creamy tan head. Aroma is buttery with hints of malt, toffee and some hops. Can’t quite pin down which hops though. The taste is smooth and malty at first but then bitter, bitter, bitter. The finish is very bitter and hoppy. More bitter than most other casked bitters I’ve had. Still very nice. DJMonarch (6878), Northwich, Cheshire, England

June, 2008 Cask at Burton Bridge Inn, Burton with haddonsman. A malty premium bitter. Quite clean, but with a soft toffee. Nice. [3.2] maeib (4752), Wootton, Northampton, Northamptonshire, England
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Oct 15, 2004 Cask conditioned - handpump - JDW Northampton. A reddy brown coloured bitter which has a warming aroma of butterscotch, toffee and rich fruits. The taste is thick and malty with those fruits also coming through. The alcohol is warming and with caramel notes as well it does become a bit sweet and latterly a tad cloying. A well brewed beer but not to be drunk in large quantities haddonsman (1234), Derby, Derbyshire, England
