Apr 18, 2009 Cask sample at Volo Cask Days 2008. Hazy amber with a small off-white head. Warm aroma of strong sweet malt, tobacco leaf, and a bit of smoke. Flavour is robust and malty, with a sufficiently hopped finish and a slightly drying booziness. Not too bad.

Jan 17, 2009 [1791-20081017] Cask. Burnt needles aroma has a bit of smoked leaves. Murky, dark brown orange body with a medium-lasting creamy off-white head. Burnt yeasty corn flavour with boozy smoked grains and finishes like toasted bread. Medium-full body. Heavy and ok.

Dec 9, 2008 Cask, Volo cask days 2008. Another one that looked great, very ESB like - fiery hazy dark amber, good sized white head. Fruity hops and grain in aroma. Taste is good - some hops, malty - again, this is bordering on ESB territory and has nothing in common with, well common. But it was drinkable and decent.

Nov 17, 2008 Cask. At Volo Cask Days 2008. Everyone freakin’ loved this, it seems - I liked it enough, but it seemed to be all over the place and bears no resemblance to a ’’common.’’ Poured cloudy reddish with an average foamy head. Aromas of alcohol (oh yes), ’’dark’’ fruit malt and some floral bitterness. the taste is also alcoholic, bitter, with apricot-like malt, seemed a bit wheaty, and some dry resin bitterness in the tail Average body, weak carbonation, and a long boozy vaguely resin-bitter finish ... pretty solid, surprisingly malty.

Oct 29, 2008 Cask at ’Volo Cask Days 2008’. Pours a hazy dark copper with an average size somewhat-lasting off-white head. Aroma’s malty along with grain, alcohol and some fruit. Flavour’s the same: Malty with grain, fruit and alcohol. Light bitter finish. Average bodied. I personally don’t love it but it’s good and well done.

Oct 18, 2008 Updated: Oct 25, 20082008-10-20. Murky brown body with a modest off white head. Alcoholic aroma, light herbal hops, dry malt. Flavour has a decent amount of bitterness, dry malt, light alcoholic undertones, bit warming as you go. Very mild dry fruit, malt. Smooth average plus palate. 7/3/7/3/15 - 3.5 Cask at Volo Cask Days Extended
<P>2008-10-17. Pretty hazy dark amber-orange body. Earthy aroma, almost a touch of tobacco like notes? Marijuana? Really? Sweetish flavour, light bitterness, touch of leafy vegetation and herbaceous touches. Smooth average plus palate. (3+) Okay, found it a bit odd overall though. 6/3/6/3/14 - 3.2 Cask @ Volo Cask Days 2008
