Jan 2, 2008 Cask-conditioned at the Bag O’Nails, Bristol 2/1/08. Ruby red with a decent off-white head that left rings down the glass. Aroma of red fruit and chocolate malt with some earthy hops. The flavour was chocolatey in the main although with a long, hoppy, dry finish. A very good Christmas ale.

Jan 13, 2006 Cask@The Marlborough, Richmond, London. Quite nice it has to be said. Nice malty characters, crackery, with some slightly juicy hops, quite smooth and easy to drink.

Dec 30, 2005 Cask Conditioned at The Crown & Trumpet, Broadway, Worcs. Dark Brown colour with white head. A thinnish low impact winter beer, one for the gluggers. Sharp crystal malts to the fore, I notice the use of wheat malts becoming more prevelant in the winter beers. Bitter on the finish, decent enough but not thrilling.

Dec 10, 2005 Updated: Mar 25, 2006Was a good beer. Entertaining for a while, but just the same than oter ales, not really bitter, so, was really enjoyable.
