It’s lightly malted aroma belies its intense and deep flavour. Smooth and heavy with sweet malt characters it brings a lot to the table. Biscuits and a light dryness make an appearance later in the progression following a heady booziness. Hearty and thirst-quenching.

| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Nov 30, 2008 Handpulled cask at the Case is Altered, Eastcote. Nothing particularly special about this ’Special Ale’. It’s a bit stronger than the Doom Bar, but tasted back to back it’s not massively different. Dark amber colour, small but persistent head, bitter and hoppy with a sugary sweet middle, dry finish. Some roasted malt flavors. Rather ordinary. leaparsons (4756), Leicester, Leicestershire, England

Thin but dense, creamy head. Aroma is fresh and it has both citrus and floral hop elements, some yeast and toffy malts. Flavor is medium bitter with sweetish malts and some yeasty sourness in the finish. Palate is medium bodied, smooth and soft carbonated. Quite ok bitter, but I expected to have more hops.
