chriso (4667), London, Greater London, England Dec 29, 2006 Old bottle, age uncertain, consumed at Kookfest, September 2006. Mid brown colour. Nothing much left apart from some caramel and sweet toffee. Any hops that were around at the outset have left the building. Very dull mouthfeel. Pretty unpalatable.
duff (5474), Surrey, Greater London, England Nov 13, 2006 Bottle. Sharp acidity, sweet caramel flavours. Mouthfeel is old and tired, and the sherry notes seemed to have gone a little too sour. Interesting to try these things anyway. Mungo (2474), Southampton, Hampshire, England Sep 22, 2006 Bottle @ Kookfest. Sweet toffee. Thin old feel. Hops have disappeared not great. harrisoni (6703), Ashford, Kent, England Sep 15, 2006 Bottle at Kookfest 2006. Toffeeish, bit thin. Copper colour. Very thin in mouth, bit of sherry. Empty. Yuck. SilkTork (4151), Rochester, Kent, England Sep 6, 2006 Kook’s Farewell Bash. Toffee. Tobacco hops. Old notes. Not very interesting. It seems odd to revive such an ordinary beer - and the recipe is a bit suspect as during the war the abv of beers went down as supplies of barley were rationed.
