Dec 22, 2009 Bottled. An amber coloured beer with a small off-white ring of bubbles. This is very much an old fashioned English bottled beer that I imagine is primarily used these days to water down strong beers or to mix with a mild. Having said all that it has some unexpected sweet boozy notes in amongst the cardboard notes from the pasteurisation and general feel of being brewed down. It’s low maintenance and a bit odd.

Jun 12, 2009 Bottle from the brewery shop at home. Aroma is minerally caramel, light woody tannic near coffee character. Taste is similar, the toffee apple malt character from all harveys beers, balanced lots of minerallyness. Good drinkable stuff.

Feb 25, 2008 A bottle, generously given to me by Mr.Silktork himself. Which I am now going to rate higher than that notorious Harvey’s fan(atic). This is a blue moon sort of day.
Warm copper, bit of off-white head. The smell of old-fashioned candy store, wool, musky apple. Apple tartness and brine flavor, delicate farmy hops that evaporate in perfect concert with fine bright carbonation, filling out the body and making even this very light bitter feel interesting and distinctive. Lingering quinine finish. Not sure if my bottle is just in unusually good shape, but I think this is a cracking little beer, with a surprising amount of interest for the strength.
