| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 13, 2006 A Mes rate: Cask at whatever the hell Fullers have called the Head of Steam now. How dare they! Blackcurrent and malt in the nose. Red brown colour with no head. Malt and toffee flavour with a hint of alcohol. Unexpected hoppy finish. Thin in the palate. Yawns. Nothing I can get excited about. Joeh (1908), Buckinghamshire, England
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 7, 2006 Cask at the General Havelock, Wycombe Marsh. Brown beer with a soapy head. Sweet malt, slightly thin with some cereal character and background bitterness. Nothing special. scotty (832), Scotland
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Apr 18, 2006 Good colour & nice white head. Quite light on the nose, with only a hint of citrussy fruit coming across. Lots of malty flavours on the palate, with a rather dry, slightly sharp acidity on the long finish. Not as hoppy as I expected, but a good, fairly well balanced brew overall. johndoughty (2156), cheslyn hay, West Midlands, England
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Dec 19, 2004 A nice reddish beer with a very pleasant mouthfeel. The only thing that stops it from being a very good beer is its thiness which becomes more noticable the longer you drink it. nigos (620), Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Dec 13, 2004 Deep tawny hue with a thick creamy off white head. Rich toasted malt nose. This is a well balanced beer that has a fruity biscuity flavour. However it lacks complexity and is a little thin. kook (2034), Perth, Western Australia, Australia

Nice sweet start with a balanced mid and mild dry finish. Smooth medium mouthfee. Great session beer. RichardGretton (3145), Leicestershire, England

The flavour is like wine with quite a dry and burn’t toffee touch. Overall quite a good premium beer. Ungstrup (15234), Frederiksberg, Denmark
