| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 30, 2003 Cask Conditiones at The Stag's Head, Swalcliffe, Oxon. A dark brown bronze beer with thick white head. This is a bitter but fruity beer homing into Stout territory. Hard coffee, smokey bitterness initially which warms and fills into a blackberry fruitiness on the tongue. Not a strong as other winter beers and no alcohol glow, but nevertheless a pretty decent pint. Hildigöltur (5109), København, Denmark
| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Dec 1, 2002 [cask] Watery texture. Bitter. Unremarkable. I wouldn’t call this a winter beer. chriso (4852), London, Greater London, England
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Feb 10, 2004 Anyone expecting a winter warmer might be disappointed, as this is, in fact, a rather nice best bitter. Sure, it is a quite malty one, but that is undepinned by a a quite austere flinty hop bitterness. Finishes clean and slightly sharp. Not at all thick or sticky. A pleasant drop.

Definitely a great session beer.
