Aug 1, 2009 Cask at The Lion Inn, Blakey Ridge. Dark ruby red, very malty with very fruity, lightly roasted flavour. Lightly hopped but very nice sweetish, raisiny aftertaste which lingers. A beer to be savoured. Very good, but was even better 30 years ago when it was 6.3%.

Jun 5, 2009 300th rating. Cask - Pours a dark ruby brown with a dense and creamy medium sized head. Berry, alcohol, raisin and rose notes on the nose. Red berries and a spicy, plummy fruitiness in the flavour leading to a crisp, fruity bitterness with an alcohol tone in the finish. Soft palate texture, slight carbonation in the mouth. Medium body and a fair finish. Dominated by fruity malts, very little hoppiness but tasty, tasty, tasty!

Apr 5, 2009 Well, I guess i am in the minority but i’m not a big fan of this particular beer. Personally the taste is vinegary like someone has stated. To be honest it really felt like I was drinking pure alcohol! It is only 5.6% so very weird.

Jan 11, 2009 <i>Cask Conditioned at The Roundhouse, London</i>
Dark chestnut color; creamy head (sprinkler). Nice caramel aroma. Quite round mouthfeel, good caramel flavor, in the end there is light chocolate too, and at the very end a touch of sweet liquorice; correct bitterness. Solid Ale, very good; it’s nice how the malt stick on the lips for some time.

Dec 6, 2008 Its funny how sometimes you are so busy hunting obscure beers you forget how good the obvious ones are! This is a fantastic looking pint. nose is fruity yet not overpowering. Flavour is xmas pudding without too much sweetness. feel is smooth and creamy. Does much get better than this? AND its a great session beer.
