Great quality picture of the bottle adjacent too! ralphdot (76), Billingham, Durham, England

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 12, 2008 Bottle. Clear ruby-amber coloured, small persistent off-white layer. Medium to solid toasty and fruity - raisins - nose. Moderate sweet-bitter flavour, astonishingly "full" bodied for a beer of 4.5%, soft MF. Lingering fruity-malty finish with a tinge of cacao-powder and lemony hoppy touch in the aftertaste. Good and pleasant............
