johndoughty (1727), cheslyn hay, West Midlands, England Sep 27, 2008 Bottle. Massive head upon pouring. Regular top ups were needed as the head just wouldn’t move. There was some bitterness but most of the mouth feel came from the head that wouldn’t disappear. Not a pleasant experience. leaparsons (4180), Leicester, Leicestershire, England Sep 23, 2008 Bottle. Hazy amber brown with a large off-white foam. Aromas are toffee malts with citrus. Woody and earthy with cream and spices. Flavours are sweet toffee malts with lots of grapefruit. Some real lemonade with grapefruit and light woody pine on the finish. Has a long dry aftertaste. A very good bottled bitter. Quack-Duck (2207), Bodensee, Germany Sep 1, 2008 bottle, from Darts Farm. Cloudy amber-copper colour, mid-sized head. Malty base, pleasantly hoppy, especially in the finish. Intensive herbal flavours and hints of blueberries. Quite spicy. A good one! cgarvieuk (2796), Edinburgh, Scotland May 8, 2008 Bottle at home ... amber coloured ...nutty woody nose ...fruity nutty malts with a little woodyness ... quite a dry finnish. wyzzywyz22 (499), Wirral, Merseyside, England Apr 13, 2008 Bottle, Carringtons, Didsbury.
