This is really getting to be irritating. I've reviewed this beer a number of times before and they keep forgetting or losing the reviews. I hate to have to renounce this great sight but I don't understand why they're messing with me. This is a great beer by the way, real classic, although not quite as outstanding as my memory serves me

Bottle from Brewers Haven. Dark brown/ black , scant head. Earthy aroma, peat, leaves. Taste adds sweetness, bitterness, but seems overly sweet. I know this is the archetype, but it is a bit cloying.

High Wycombe House Warming. Thanks to Scopey. Almost clear amber beer, no head. Palate is light and semi dry, modest carbonation. Very oxidised caramel malts. Some paper. Floralness into more caramel. Smooth semi dry finish. Always a kick to try old beers but sometimes they.are just plain knackered like this one.
