Apr 12, 2009 Absolutely fantastic pint at the mabel tavern, i’ve been waiting a while to try this on cask, love the bottled version but this was fantastic. everything i like in the bottle but dialed up a notch with a great body! huge fruity body...stalky raisins perhaps and a great lingering bitterness....we walked down to russel square and i could still taste it 20 mins later!

May 29, 2006 Cask (or so I was told) at the Dubliner in Goteborg--#19 on the 2006 Europe tour-A creamy head sat atop a ruby/brown color brew with a fruity aroma. The taste was well balance with the malts on the front end and a hoppy finish with caramel taste lasting throughout.

May 16, 2003 Handpull. This is the first relatively high-alcohol brew tasted after a couple of days of light bitters. A very welcome departure. Rich maltiness, with a nice resonant bitterness. Some interesting estery characteristics as it warmed. Beautiful presence in the glass. A very lovely brew.

Jan 5, 2004 Reddish amber colour. As usual with Shepherd Neame beers, hops predominate, but with more fruit and malt than in their other beers. Some nutty/fruity notes on the palate, but the hoppy bite takes over and dominates by the finish. Quite full bodied, but drinks easily. By no means a session beer, not least because it is rare to find it on draught. Incidentally, the cask version is slightly weaker than the bottled at 5%, but a better beer to my mind (when well kept). Handpump, Shepherd Neame brewery tap, April 2003.

Apr 29, 2005 Delicious. Had this at the North Star, Ealing Broadway, London. Rich dark and slight mahogany tinted brew. Molasses taste mixed in here. Had a second round later on and was glad I did. Ah, how much I appreciate British real ales.
