Dec 2, 2006 (Cask at Wenlock Arms, London, 25 Nov) Amber colour with small white head. Fruity nose with dried fruit and raisins. Fruity taste with dried fruit (prunes, raisins) and earthy hops giving it a nice, bitter finish. Not exceptional, but a nice session bitter.

Nov 14, 2006 Aroma is fruity and sweetish malts with citrus hops kickin towards the end but a bit minimal. Taste is similar a bit more bitter than expoected but again a bit minimal and feel as though they could have done more.

Nov 23, 2005 Cask Handpump at the Penny Black, Northwich (JDW) 15/11/2005
Amber coloured beer with some fruity aromas and hoppiness with slight citric hints. Some bitterness in the finish which does last.

Oct 29, 2005 Cask handpull at Wenlock Arms. Chestnut beer with thick lasting off white head. Nich rich malts, some choc and toffee and good green hop aroma. Finish has more slightly acidic hop to blance the rich malts, but it doesn’t quite pull it off. Finish is too astringent on the back of the choc malts. You are expecting a warming dark malty bitter and then are hit with this hop astringency. Needs refinement
