May 26, 2004 Bottled, thanks rauchbier!
Going side to side with J.W.Lees Harvest Ale was tough for this beer. It poured very dark brown and formed a rich head. Raspberries and fruits were predominant in the aroma. It was sweet and relatively malty with some depth. It had notes of chocolate and wood, as well as a punch of rhum. A good, complex beer, sure, but fell short in this comparison.

May 13, 2004 Another famous beer. Bottle bought at Pitfield - a great beer shop in London. Packed with flavours that come wave after wave. Great palate. A classic, deserving of the reputation.

Apr 14, 2004 A beer from my neck of the woods in the Top twenty as they say. And it's a corker. Woodfordes have suffered of late and are not as good as they used to be (in my opinion), but they are still one of the better regionals. Had this a few times bottled (not seen it in any of the pubs), and it's a genuine litte stunner all right. Lots of flavour, and a good old ale or barley wine. Probably more old ale really. Really rich and fruity and with a soft kick - not a rough kick, but just that edge of alcohol so you know what your dealing with.

Feb 25, 2004 Bottle (best before 08/04). A dark brown color with ruby tints in the light. The light brown head is healthy, rich and foamy. The aroma is a true delight with plums, raisins, brandy, hints of vanilla, and a sense that it was aged in a wine cask. Nicely balanced palate that is rich and malty but not thick. The flavor has raisins, chocolate, caramel, roast, and a earthy malt character. Thanks to Nuffield for bringing this accross the ocean for me.

Dec 16, 2003 Dark color, quite poor head. The nose is not impressive: malt, alcohol, brandy, apple. Average mouthfeel, a bit drier than expected, with quite strong liquorice, ending with a bold caramel and bitter almonds (and light phenol). Less than I expected, but thanks a lot to Jens (Ungstrup) for this bottle.
