Jul 18, 2004 Quite an interesting bitter - probably the closest approximation to cask ale I’ve had in a bottle - mellow, creamy carbonation - flavors of dried herbs, vegetables, oats and bread - nicely balanced hop profile - grassy, earthy finish - nice.

Jun 24, 2009 (Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm, 17 June 2009) Nut brown colour with foamy, beige head. Malty, nutty nose with dried fruit, toasty malt and orange peel. Malty, nutty taste with notes of dried fruit, almonds, hints of brown sugar and dusty hops in a bittersweet finish. Medium body, solid malt structure with some sweetness throughout. A nice and malty premium bitter.

May 23, 2005 The beer emerges from the 500ml brown bottle a bemused rusty orange color with a mount Everest sized frothy light tan head and a bazillion tons of sediment, well maybe only the size of K-2 and just a ton or two of goodies floating in suspension, with the left over lace a thick blanket to cover the glass. Nose has an unmistakable woody aroma, fresh malts, a bit soapy, fresh and clean, the start is nicely malted and lightly sweet with a light to medium feel at the top. Finish is pesky in its acidity, the hops ever so spicy and pleasant, very dry and long lasting aftertaste, what better treat after a long day of drudgery and the ride home in this 106-degree heat amongst some of the worst drivers on God’s green earth.

Feb 8, 2008 Pretty good label and bottle. Goldings, slightly cigarette-y aroma. Peaty malt, yeasty, a little metallic, generally gave a pretty dry impression. Copper color. Medium body. Sticky bitter aftertaste. Pretty good.

May 19, 2004 Sampled from bottle at Danish Beer Festival 2004 (#23).
Creamy off-white head on a cloudy amber colored body. Woody, dark malty, beeries and somewhat earthly aroma. Quite full flavor, malty and spicy. Also pepper, fruit and hops. A really nice and different beer.

May 27, 2007 Cask-conditioned at the Inn on the Green, Bristol. Amber coloured with a moderate head. Aroma of caramel and red fruits. Flavour was of rich malt with a dry finish. Pretty good but extra alcohol didn’t add a great deal.

Jan 18, 2008 [1011-20071229] 500mL (w/ jerc). Smells like grainy poo. Cloudy, dark brown body with a medium-lasting creamy white head and nice lacing. Bitter grainy malt flavour. Medium body is fairly smooth. Disgusting aroma.

Dec 6, 2007 Bottle, LCBO. Dark hazy orange, medium creamy foamy head. Nice musty aroma - very dry, dust, wood chips. Taste isn’t bad - fruity, malt, good amount of hops. Lots of fruit in finish. Light to medium mouthfeel. I wanted a little more omph in flavour - more malt, less fruit, which got thin and almost cloying after a while. But, while the whole thing is a little muted, it is still a solid bitter and enjoyable.
