Aug 28, 2007 Bottled.
Dark ruby brown colour. Big cottony head. Dark, bready flavour profile with light toasty notes and hints of strawberries, chocolate and almonds. Bit sugary. Pretty long flavour. Not very smooth in mouthfeel. Big letdown - I used to love this beer.

Aug 23, 2007 This is probably the most legendary old ale ... strangly could not find it on tab in Yorkshire when visiting this autumn ... it’s soft and oily, lightly smoky, malty, hints of milk chocolate paired with raisins and dried blackcurrant, very smooth and sustaining ... this has everything a brew needs to offer pleasure and delight ....

Aug 18, 2007 It pours a rich deep brown, about the color of cola, and not much of a head. The strong aroma is malty with a hint of toffee and even a bit of cola-like scent. Rich flavor is strongly malty with some hop bitterness and a whisper of toffee. This is a very tasty and satisfying ale, good either on its own or with a meal.

Jul 31, 2007 Bottled 50cl. 5,6 ABV. It pours a dark ruby beer with a fast diminishing white head. The aroma is of grapefruit, licorice and caramel. Some hints of oranges and dark chocolate. Slightly metallic. The taste is rather malty, buttery and nutty. A medium bodied beer with a fairly low bitterness. A dry buttery finish follows with some nice caramel elements. Poor lacing.
