| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Dec 6, 2005 Tasted of yeat, and a horse blanket of an aftertaste, too. I was possibly unlucky with my bottle. JonMoore (1561), Loughborough, Leicestershire, England
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 24, 2005 Cask at the Swan in the Rushes, Loughborough, where they said the abv was 5% and I think they were right.
Full bodied, fruity and hoppy, well balanced by the malts. Hoppy finish.
Good stuff. Joeh (1908), Buckinghamshire, England
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 24, 2005 Cask at the Railway Tavern, Chelmsford. Red colour. Aroma is fruity and a touch yeasty. Flavour is malty, fruity and sweet, plenty of body for the ABV, I actually thought it was stronger. Perhaps not served in the best condition by the pub. Mads Langtved (2246), Copenhagen K, Denmark
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 3, 2005 Cask condition, GBBF 2005.
Sirupy. No head. Reddish appearance. Malty and sweet finsh. A standard bitter without too much biterness. hughie (3069), Bedford, Bedfordshire, England
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Aug 5, 2005 Updated: Jul 5, 2007Bottle conditioned from GBBF 2005. No head, and despite pouring carefully, a little haziness in the beautiful amber colour. Complex but immensely drinkable. Malt and fruit blended in the taste and a subtle bitterness crept in at the end. Wonderful. Cask at ’Spoons, M.K. 5th July, 2007. Caramel malt aroma. Fruity taste, some sourness, grainy background. Late bitterness. harrisoni (6828), Ashford, Kent, England
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 28, 2005 Cask at Bohemian, Deal. Hop nose is reminiscent of Wherry but this has more body from the extra alcohol. Overall a really good beer, that I would have been happy to drink all afternoon. kook (2034), Perth, Western Australia, Australia
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 18, 2005 Pale amber with a beige head. Mild nutty aroma. Sweet caramel start, with a nutty mid and bitter finish. Nice, with some fruity notes there too. Great for sipping.
