Aug 12, 2008 275ml bottle from Shropshire. Vintage 1990. 4% abv. Dark red/brown appearance. Very malty with some nutty sweetness. Very drinkable. Few hops - a dusty bitterness late in the finish. Surprisingly good.

Aug 28, 2007 Pint in the Fox & Duck, Sheffield. Cant believe I’ve never tried this before so here goes I did. Great appearance, amber with a creamy head. Nutty flavour and much more flavoursome than the smooth. Would always go for the magnet now its just not as available.

does not count  May 9, 2007 Very dry. This is effectively Jon Smith’s smooth’s evil twin. The Magnet is very dark in the glass, a tiny bit sweet at first, and bitter at the end -- and the bitterness stays with you for a while. If you like stronger brews, this one won’t disappoint.

Nov 8, 2006 A dark red colour with a thick white head ontop. A sweet aftertaste when drinking. Not my favourite drink in the world, as I wouldnt choose it over something else. More of a last resort drink, but still nice.

Jun 17, 2006 Cask. Ruby with a white head, laces very well. Malty apples in the aroma, sweetness in the taste, some dry bitter finish. Quite nice drinker.
