Cask at The Ale House, Colchester. Poured a clear dark brown with a red hue and a frothy white, long-lasting head. The aroma is weak roasted malt. The flavour is medium to weak bitter with a thin watery weak liqourice hop bitter palate. Light bodied with flat carbonation. It’s a little weak all round to be honest. Needs more defining attributes.

Keighley Beer Festival. Very dark with a small head and as the programme notes suggested it does have a plummy sweetness and a dry bitterness.

Cask at Red Lion, Cromer, Norfolk. A dark brown coloured pour with a small white head on top. Malty, roasty aroma. Tastes malty, dark fruit. An OK old ale but nothing special in my opinion.

Bottle. Sweet chocolate malt and light hay aroma. Dark brown color with no head. Sweet smoky chocolate malt and moderately bitter herbal hops. Body a bit light. An easy drinking Old Ale - unusual but nice.

Dark brown. Light molasses and toffee aroma. Chewy, soft, with toffee and date character. A decent pint.

3rd November 2008. Clear very dark brown beer. Pleasant and complex mix of nuts and fruit. Some hops coming through in the finish. Low carbonation. A bitter semi dry finish doesn’t detract too much from a tasty beer.
