Jul 1, 2005 Bottled, pasteurised, 500 ml. Orange amber with large bubbly head. I was particularly impressed with this flavoursome, full bodied ale. Lots of creamy vinous notes with a chocolate caramel background. A very pleasant sipping beer to relax to, my favourite bottled Marstons I think.

Jun 4, 2005 I was warned about this by workmates who said it had" too much vanilla in it" so I expected it to be along the same lines as Innis & Gunn, which I like, but alas, this is a pale imitation. LIght and refreshing, but that also means "bland" in this case. Victoria Wine Kelso.

Nov 2, 2004 Bottle. Pale golden coloured with thin, frothy white head. Aroma has fruit, vanilla and is slightly sweet. Bitter tasting with malt and honey. Bitter and citrusy finish. Medium bodied. Not bad.

Oct 1, 2004 500 ml bottle. Golden colour with a huge white head that fades back to a thin white lace. Aroma is fruity and honeyish with cherry and other berry notes. A shot of toffee malts as well. Fairly thin body. Flavour is malty, with honey and a bit of spice. Lots of fruit in this but not too sweet. A nice shot of bitterness at the end.

Aug 12, 2004 Pale, yellowy lager like colour and strong vanilla nose. I don’t know about the "juicy cherries", but there is a strong taste of vanilla. Unfortunately that is all there is, just a bonad beer with some vanilla flavour. My girlfriend brought this back for me from England, but I won’t tell her it was this bad.

Aug 6, 2004 Sour malt aroma. Nice coppery tan color with a nice white head. Has higher carbonation than most bitters - very light taste - watery with little body. A disappointing one.

Jul 26, 2004 500ml clear bottle from Threshers in Bloomsbury Way.Poured a coral amber with big white frothy head & lacing. Cherry vanilla nose with lime notes. I would not be able to identify this as beer from the aroma. The favour is floral citrus - too floral for me. Watery mouthfeel. Long bitter citrus finish. May appeal to non-beer drinkers.
