Fin (2164), Merton, Oxfordshire, England Jul 22, 2008 Cask, gravity dispense at Merton Summer Beer Festival July 18th and 19th 2008 (had this on the Saturday morning when all was quite and after icing up , this was quite nice for breakfast at 07:30) Pours mid brown with some woodiness hazlenut and roasted flavours and aromas floating around. The maltiness starts to make its mark and there is a tangy enduring bitterness, its a fine beers but not quite the beer I anticipated. gary07734 (128), Tyne & Wear, England Jun 18, 2008 Dark brown/black half pint at local beer festival. Pours with no head and looks a bit like flat cola!
Taste is strong hops and yeast, a little sweetness and caramel followed by a pleasant bitter after taste.
Very enjoyable. JK54B (269), Finland Jun 3, 2008 Cask RA. Dark brown colour. A quite tasty beer. Suitable sweetness. Some
hoppiness in the end. Also some prunes and roasted toffee in the taste. albertane (247), Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, England Feb 21, 2008 Cask at the Last Drop Inn, York. This dark beer was very enjoyable on a very chilly night. It’s dark brown with lost of roast malt on the nose and in the flavour but with some fruit and chocolate qualities. Quite good. Fukito (591), Buenos Aires, Argentina Dec 26, 2007 Cask @ York Brewery, november 07. Clear, deep dark copper color with a medium, light tan head. Deep fruity flavor with some very slight earthy hop notes. Ends with a dried fruits touch. Deep, profound, rasiny fruity aroma. Medium to full palate, caramel feeling but ends quite dry and earthy. Excellent strong english ale.
