Aroma of caramel, mature, and some alcohol. Good body strength, with caramel flavor and light medicines, herbs; caramel finish. The final is quite empty. Rare example in England, but probably the yeast is not the best suitable one for this strong beer. KimJohansen (7149), Copenhagen V, Denmark

Some sour dark cherry, dark choc. Dryish finish. Superb, bit of alcohol heat.

Cask from the Pembury Tavern. First beer of the festival urged on by Ian and Chris, Cheers guys. Bit of a cracker this one. Dark red brown coloured. Sweet malty aroma with something a little prickly about it. (Hmm, sourness, good call Ian) Flavour is more sweet malt with some definite aniseed. A little dark chocolate too. Lovely warmth from the alcohol and some nice earthy otes for the finish. Definite old aged character to it. Great stuff, a proper drop of English.
