Jul 17, 2008 Cask at Wellington Arms, Bedford. Amber with a small white head. Buttery malt aroma with wet cloth, not as bad as it sounds. Malty taste with some fruity sourness in the background. Slight bitterness. This was quite good.

Mar 16, 2006 Pint pulled at The Railway in Putney (London), amber with a creamy white head. Aroma is sweet with caramal and molasses. Caramal in the flavour again, with licorice. A creamy bitter mouthfeel. A bit different to the usual bitter this.

Feb 27, 2006 Cask conditioned hand pull at County Hotel, JDW, Ashford. After 4 days of heavy Belgian beers, this came as a real relief. I was expecting the worst, but this all but restored my faith in British bitters. Copper colour with beige head. Hey this isn’t bad. Some red fruit in the aroma along with hop and faint yeast. Fullish in mouth helped by good malts with pleasant slightly sweet strawberries which then carry on to balance the dry finish. Very good bitter

Mar 31, 2005 [Cask at Volunteers Arms, GBBF, 2004] An amber beer with a fine bubbly beige head. The aroma is weird with primary notes of caramel. The flavor is of caramel and lots of bitter hops, leading to a dry woddy end.
