Cask-conditioned at the Commercial rooms JDW, Bristol 1/11/08. Dark brown with reddish hints and a slight tan head. Sweet malt and dark fruit aroma. Flavour was sweet, with some caramel, dried fruit and earthy hops, before a short bitter finish. Good.

[500ml bottle from The Little Beer Shop, Blofield, Norfolk] Gave this as a gift to my brother Jim, but he shared it with me anyway - cheers mate! Pours a deep ruby-black with no head. Tastes of liquorice & chocolate, but is a little weak and watery for the style. Slight bitterness, some malt. Follows through into a very dry, saddle-leather aftertaste. Not bad.

Flavour is malts, raisins, sweetness and some mild coffee. Really pleasant and wellbalanced. Aftertaste is dark fruits and wood.

Dark clear brown with a few huge yeast chunks floating atop. Almost no head, and lifeless. A light murky malt aroma with nutty notes. In mouth, a roasted malt with notes of yeast, but no body, lifeless and sad. Bought from Bieropholie, for over 10$!!!

Deep garnet body, thin/medium buff head. Earthy aroma with figs, caramel, musty cabinets, and toffee. Possibly a bit sulfuric as well. Sour body with light toast and notes of rubber/plastic. Very thin-bodied. Strange and not so good...I don’t think I’m going to finish this bottle.
