Aug 5, 2007 White Horse, Chilham Full bodied, chocolate, malt7y, rush of blood. Interesting - though perhaps too much chocolate for my taste. Hop burn in the finish. [2.8]

Dec 12, 2006 Cask (handpump), at the Edgar Wallace, Strand. Bright, deep copper colour. Scant white head. Mainly malty aroma. Sort of damp, clammy character with a smoky edge. The palate is all soft malt and berry fruit. Soft and smooth mouthfeel. Notice how often the word "smooth" is coming up? Perhaps a bit too often. A pleasant enough mellow and malty bitter but rather lacking in bite and, er, bitterness.

Jun 25, 2004 Cask condtioned @ JDW, Soton. Rich dark fruits, toasted malts and earthy hop aroma. Quite sweet, but well balanced by faint roastiness and full hop bitterness.

Jun 2, 2004 Cask Conditioned, at the Wenlock Arms, London.
Deep clear amber colour, beige head. Strong hop aroma that is generous and forward. Hoppy flavour with vanilla cream and toffee. Good bitter structure and highly quaffable.
