 Pub (4103), Banbury, Oxfordshire, England
May 16, 2008 Bottle conditioned, 500ml. Orange amber with white head, short. Sweetish malty beer, some roasty notes with a slight spicy background. Seems a little all over the place as though its not sure of what it wants to be, which is probably a Belgian strong ale. Its ok, without getting great.

Nov 17, 2007 Bottle. Very inviting aroma opening but after that it was all downhill.Quite acidic with a bitterness I didn’t enjoy.Also found a mushroom sized piece of sediment floating around the bottle. Not a pleasant experience drinking this one.

Dec 2, 2006 Cask at College Inn (JDW), Peterborough, Cambridgeshire. Orange-amber with a white head. Sweet blackcurrant fruit aroma. Melon and honey taste with a hint of alcohol. Strong bitter finish. This was unusual and thus rather appealed to me.
