Jul 9, 2006 Dark beer, drunk one year past sell-by date. Silky smooth with lively but gentle carbonation. No hop character but bursting with malt, rye and yeast derived flavours. A perfectly crafted beer and a real pleasure.

Oct 24, 2004 Bottle. Pretty banana-y and caramelly. Yeasty, with quite a bid of whole meal bread flavour. Alcohol shows ever so slightly. Nice though.

Oct 20, 2004 Very dark red/brown colour. I haven’t had enough beers made with rye to isolate the characteristics associated with it, but there’s certainly everything but the kitchen sink in here. I picked up wheat (strong), caramel, vanilla, bready yeast, banana (faint) and roast malt. However, I found it a bit of a hotch potch and, in truth, too sweet for my palate. Interesting though. Bottled at Bedford Beer Festival 2004.

Oct 9, 2004 Bottled - Bedford Beer Festival. Lots of banana and rye aromas in this dark brown coloured beer. The taste is too sweet for me having banana and bubblegum galore.
