Dec 30, 2006 Updated: Jan 10, 200712 oz. bottle. Aroma is of alcohol and chocolate with a little spice. Pours very dark, but slightly transparent - almost purple quality to it. Frothy off-white head. Flavor is of alcohol, malt and spice. Finish is dry. A unique experience.

Dec 24, 2006 Pours to a brown body with a thin and rapidly dissipating light tan head. The flavor is interesting to say the least. Lots of dried dark fruits like figs and dates with some light raisins and bananas thrown in the mix. A roasted malt fills the back-end. The palate is carbonated and medium bodied. The aroma is dried banana chips and something like a holly wreath or other Christmas plant.

Dec 21, 2006 Pours deep mahogany into a tulip. Medium sized mocha head leaves sheet lacing as it slowly recedes. Raisins, figs, apricots and roasted nuts. Sticky sweet rotting banana peel turning slightly bitter for a lasting aspirin finish...but in a way...

Dec 19, 2006 This one has fallen away over the years. The bottled version is quite average. The cask version can be good but has to be particularly well looked after.

Brown body with a malty, caramel aroma. Flavor is nutty with caramel, toasted vanilla and alcohol. Finish has a touch of bitter coffee. I have not had this one in awhile – it seems like it used to be a bit better.

Dec 10, 2006 Bottle Very carbonated looking dark pour, big head with huge bubbles. Mild nose, malty and a bit of nut or toffee. Nice rich flavor, roast and some toffee. Smooth but very carbonated. Good session.

Dec 9, 2006 Ahhhhh....to drink this on tap in Masham is magic. Toffeeish nut mystery with just a touch of the hop. A nice malty smooth pint with an even slow laceing that lowers the heartbeat by merely looking at it. Flat and calm after the head fades. Please theakston...keep it coming.

Dec 7, 2006 Malty nose with just a hint of esters and alcohol spiciness. Dark coppery color with some head retention. Rich and smooth flavor, nicely balanced, mild roast coffee aftertaste. Good session beer, very drinkable, but not as ’peculiar’ as I had hoped.
