Very dark, off-white head. Slightly antiseptic aroma. Soapy. Sweet. Later - old. Prolly had a duff one. Should rerate.

Jul 6, 2008 Almost pitch with ruby edges and a tan collar. Swirling with bits. Sourish brambly aroma with background hopcone and charcoal. Mouth damp and ashy, sourish with odd but not completely unappealing red apple fruitiness. Almost Flemish accidental dankness and fruit. LIngers with peanut and biscuit. Gently sour and malty at once. Unintentionally quite a decent beer.

May 25, 2008 Cask at Wellington Arms, Bedford. Dark red brown with a small beige head. Slight chocolate aroma. Taste is strong, creamy and sour with all sorts of goodies like dates, liquorice and shots of espresso. This is a much maligned beer. I love it.
