| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 6, 2007 Knickersby ’Spoons. Ruby pint with well-retained cream froth. Aroma is sourish and vinous with plenty of buttery vanilla. Flavour is more of the same with smooth berryish fruit, caramel, and red wine creaminess. Unusually well-conditioned and tasty back-to-back with 4 pints of Church. Enjoyed it. Svesse (2680), Hässelby, Sweden

Oct 06Cask conditioned @ Standing ORder (JDW), Soton. Nicely malty without being sweet or over the top. Robust bitterness which feels remniscent of autumn walks through woods surrounded by fallen leaves. Not much else to it but quite drinkable. 3.3 johndoughty (2159), cheslyn hay, West Midlands, England

| 1.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 1/10 | 2/5 | 1/20 | Oct 23, 2002 ugh this tasted like a bad combination of swimming pool water and off camembert rind - undrinkable. i took it back and complained to the barman who took great offence and kept muttering we’ve had it for two years, never had a problem bla bla bla. so i can only assume it’s a bloody awful beer with industrial-grade bleach in the recipe.
