StueyD (590), King’s Lynn, Norfolk, Norfolk, England Mar 14, 2006 A very dark ale with a strong white head. A sweetish fruity nose and a sweet caramel taste, with a strong finish of roasted malt. DJMonarch (4091), Northwich, Cheshire, England Feb 4, 2006 Cask Stillage at the Bar Fringe, Manchester 23/12/2003
Dark to mid brown colour and slightly rich on the palate. Fruity with a lasting full malt finish. Mungo (2474), Southampton, Hampshire, England Jan 12, 2006 Cask conditioned @ Standing Order (JDW), Soton. Lots of sweet caramelly malt flavours with the slightest touch of fruit. Fairly sweet the whole way through with some bitterness right at the end. Some interest but a bit sweet. johndoughty (1681), cheslyn hay, West Midlands, England May 29, 2005 Brownish apperance and poured with a small head.Slightly nutty with traces of malt. Lacks the acidity that many British bottle conditioned beers seem to have.
An above average ale-but can you really call it a strong ale at 5 per cent? MrWalker (928), Stockholm, Sweden Jan 7, 2005 Cask @ Akkurat, Stockholm Backlog 29 Dec 2004 Very dark, and a stuborn head. Wheat? Figs. Sweet. Salmiak? Dry finish.
