Sep 11, 2007 Date: 24/11/2005
Location: Whitelocks, Leeds
Notes: Ruby red and rich, with an earthy aroma. Slightly "meaty" on the palate, but not in a bad way, just a yeast characteristic. Finishes with a light hop bitterness.

Aug 28, 2007 Cask conditioned at The Barony, Edinburgh.
Ruby brown colour. Low head. Bit of chocolate, and light sourish in aroma. Lightly oxidized, which gives a faint vinegary touch in flavour, there are also chocolate. Vented far to early?

Jul 31, 2007 Dark, deep coffee coloured stout-like body with a creamy tan head. Smells of brandy vats and musty grapes. On first tasting it is rich and mellow like a good claret, but falls away the further you get down the pint. It is a bit to heavy and cloying. Having said that there are some lovely warm fine-spirit notes in the finish. Bit to sweet for me, not bitter enough.

Jul 29, 2007 A beer with a special place in my heart as it was one of the first ales that just blew me away with its rich flavour when I was still a teenager, ensuring that I travelled the path of real ale during my student days rather than that of fizzy corporate lager! Pours a dark reddish amber with a small head. Good balance, with lots of strong fruit and berry flavours, with sweet, sticky malt flavours holding it all together.
