Nov 25, 2004 Cask: Light berry in aroma, but mostly just nutty malt. Sweet start with a balanced mid and finish. Light berry presence in aftertaste. Nutty. Not bad.

Dark red in colour. Small soapy head. Slight aroma of blackberries, some flowery hops. Familiar Fullers malts, lightly bitter finish. Slightly watery.

Dec 18, 2003 Cask-conditioned. Biscuity malt and raisin aroma. Caramel and earthy flavours. Couldnt taste any blackberry. Slightly thin body and a bit boring.

Dec 13, 2003 Deep red /brown colour. Interesting that Spiesy thought it looked like London Pride as it was clearly a far darker colour than the London Pride that others in my party were drinking. I wonder whether the recipe has been changed. In character, much as one would expect from a winter beer. Fruit is the dominant feature throughout. Definite current/raisin tones on the nose. Apparently, blackberries are in the recipe. Finishes a little sweet for me. A respectable, but unexceptional beer. Handpump, Old Bank of England, London WC1, December 2003.

Nov 30, 2003 Updated: Dec 4, 2003Draught at the Old Joint Stock, a Fullers pub in Birmingham. Pleasant, fruity beer, with a soft, juicy flavour. Nice red hued colour, but perhaps the sweetness is a little too cloying.

Nov 19, 2003 Cask Conditioned at The Chequers, Chipping Norton, Oxon. Red amber beer with lasting bubbly head. I always look forward to this beer hitting the pubs over winter as it is a delicious fruity, roasted malt beer, toffee caramel notes, a good winter warmer.

Jan 17, 2003 Updated: Jan 12, 2004A good bottled beer. Blackberry and yeast aroma. A malty bitter with the fruit flavour strongly weighted with sharp blackberries. Refeshing and pleasant. [3.0]
And again... Cask Fresh @ Barrowboy & Banker - A Fuller's House, Southwalk. Beer is in good condition. Amber with scarlet hue. Smells of beer - sort of doughy with a hint of fragrant hops. Carbonation is tickly on the tongue. Mild toffee and caramel flavours with an equally mild bitterness. Some rancid pig fat lingers in the finish. Drinkable, but not that good.
