Flavour is composed of semi sweet, tangy, cola cubes, jammy fruits, condense grape and raisin, culle. nice tang. Palate is semi sweet, tangy, mellow condition. Odd.

Bottle shared in London. Pours clear copper with no head. So so, certainly oxidised, some mellow tangy berries, earth, dry caramel. Light to medium bodied, soft. Touches of warmth in the finish, dry bready malts, little caramel, nips of cardboard. Eh.

3rd LCRBM. Sweet apples, almost like calvados in the aroma. Sweet and sour flavor with malt, raisin and flowery hops. Red berries. Rather alcoholic, still a nice beer.

A ’liquer beer’ for ’cookimg or mixing’ says the label. Initially a shock to the palate it soon settles down to a sour malt beer that is quite mouth watering. Low carbonation.

Level 6 bottleshare. Thanks to LKS. Sourish pruney datey figgy fruits. Sourish citric peel. Smooth finish. Quite drinkable!!

Cask gravity at Dover Beer Festival 2006. Very dark red/brown colour. Funky aroma, strong and sickly. Strong dark and funky. Frankly, I didn’t like this one bit.
