| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 25, 2005 [Cask at Charlies Bar, Copenhagen] A hazy dark amber beer with a small off-white lazing head. The aroma is nicely hoppy and the flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel, roasted bread, and a bitter hoppy quite dry end. The mouthfeel is very smooth. SilkTork (4184), Rochester, Kent, England
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Oct 16, 2005 Wallington Festival. Not as exciting or pleasant as I had hoped. A malty beer that doesn’t quite lift itself off the ground. The hops either don’t fully integrate with the malt or get far enough away to provide an interesting balance - instead the hops lurk around in a rather dull and dumb way at the end, unsure what to do and where to go.

Quite dark amber coloured with a creamy white head and very good lacing. Flavour is fruity, malty, caramel with some hops. Full bodied. Very good stuff. hughie (3082), Bedford, Bedfordshire, England

Mid amber, with a small white head. A delicious, malty creamy flavour with plenty of caramel and an intensely bitter finish. Mungo (2473), Southampton, Hampshire, England

Weak aroma with little hop and fruit. Fruity, nutty and slightly sugary flavor. Suprisingly sweet for a bitter! Nice and easy. TBone (6850), Pori, Finland

Nut brown with small tanned head. Flowery hoppy nose. Typical pale ale/bitter real ale: flowery English hops with some chocolaty and roasted notes. Good session beer but nothing so special. RichardWilding (190), London, Greater London, England
