May 29, 2007 Updated: Feb 20, 2008Cask at the Pembury Beer Festival, March 2007. I think the cask had been aged in the cellar for several months. Almost black in the glass with a very small tan head. An amazing beer that brings together qualities found in Flemish sour ales and English old ales. Very spicy. Rich, powerful and intoxicating. I adore this. A rare of example of an "extreme" cask beer from a UK brewer that really works.

Sep 16, 2007 Cask, GBBF 07. Dark brown light, lacy head. Complex aroma of dried fruits, Christmas cake. Rich, mouth filling flavour, some spiciness evident. Long sustaining finish is warming.

Apr 10, 2007 Cask at The Pembury Tavern. Wow, a hugely complex flavour, tried it a couple of times now and still trying to get my head round all those aromas. V.Dark with bags of fruit and spices initially followed by a heap of chocolatey malt and a long sour/bitter finish. Superb.

Apr 24, 2007 Probably my favourite beer! A delicious, complex flavour with spices that aren’t overpowering. Best consumed in quantity with a good strong Stilton to nibble - unless you want to do anything the next day... I’ve found it regularly at the Cambridge Winter Beer Fest.

Feb 18, 2009 Cask @ Pembury Tavern
Ruby black colour. Intriguing nose of spices and fruit. Bold dark fruit flavours with a hint of port richness and a smack of spice. Some fruit tartness and a lingering finish.
Different, and very good.

Jan 29, 2007 Updated: Mar 16, 2007Cask handpull at Pembury Tavern, Hackney. Very deep ruby colour with thin deep beige ehad. Some nice choc, some sourness on aroma. Like a choccy old ale. Sourness is nice. Heavenly beer, like Goachers Old. Superb complexity. More grainy. Some sour dark cherry, dark choc. Dryish finish. Superb, bit of alcohol heat.
Re-rate 14/03/2007 4.1/5 Oily, good intensity, some dark fruit. Tart on end, oily and a bit of leather, very dry. Alcohol presence on end

Feb 16, 2008 Cask conditioned at Merton Winter Beer Festival ’08. Red brown with white bubbly head. Another fantastic beer at this brilliant festival, Fin & Loz have done a cracking job. Superb rich and slightly tart notes, winey, grapes and fruity, sultanas with a noticeable spiciness. Lots of rich roasted chocolatey malt. A winner.
