duff (5407), Sydney, Australia, Surrey, England Nov 13, 2006 Bottle. Brown colour. Some sweet dark fruit. Mouthfeel is stale and sweet, and appears to be slightly oxidised. Light yeastyness. chris_o (4409), London, Greater London, England Sep 22, 2006 Bottle @kookfest, September 2006. Age uncertain but obviously quite old. Darkish brown colour. Intensely sweet. Some figgy fruit. Perhaps there was more to this beer in its youth but, by this stage, there was nothing much but the sweetness left. The juniper and herbs had quite faded away.
Mungo (2474), Southampton, Hampshire, England Sep 20, 2006 Bottle @ Kookfest. Sweet cherrys, malt and minimal hops. Too sweet to appreciate the flavours. harrisoni (5382), Ashford, Kent, England Sep 13, 2006 Bottle at Kookfest 2006. Very dark brown/red, lasting beige head. Toffee and raisiny, sweet. OK but just way too sweet. kook (2035), Perth, Western Australia, Australia Sep 6, 2006 Bottle, from the GBBF Collectable Stand (Unknown Vintage): Deep ruby brown with a short, lasting beige head. Raisins in the nose, with a slight aciditic there too. Big prune flavoute. Very smooth body. Loads of port-wine like flavours and old fruit. Really suprising and pleasant beer.
