A Sim rate (cask at the White Horse): Brandy and malt in the aroma. Hugely brandy and malt again in the flavour with a slight berry/cherry. Very alcoholic and too too strong-tasting.

Cask@Leicester Beer Festival 2007. Brown beer with a malty aroma and a malty and syrupy flavour. Overall a nice beer.

Dover Beer Fest. Heavy and sweet. Some fruit and some hop, but mostly a blunt assault of alcohol malt. Stack ’em high and sell ’em cheap.

Cask (gravity dispense) at White Cliffs Beer Festival, February 2006. Reddish colour. Distinct caramel and toffee on the nose. Joined by licorice and plummy fruit in the flavours. Fairly sweet. Nice enough but didn’t blow me away. I think I expected something rather bigger and more assertive.

Cask @ Dover Festival 06: Sweet fruits, berries, peaches and toffee. Lovely ruby amber with a beige head. Moreish, tasty winter ale.
