Bottle shared at CBJ - picked up in London. Pours clear orange-gold with a creamy, off-white head. Light sweet flavour, well oxidised, a little watery caramel, brown bread. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet finish, little cardboard, caramel. So so. A little past its prime.

Bottleshare at CBJ. Thanks to LKS. Clear amber beer, a few lonely tan bubbles. Light smooth malts, mildly dry, surprisingly there is some fine carbonation. Papery watery caramel malts. A little ripe fruits. Light semi dry finish. Don't hate this at all but it's historical interest only.

9th March 2022. Mini-tasting with minutemat at my place. 275ml bottle, given to me by my brother-in-law some 10 years ago and since then been kept in the dark and forgotten about. BBD end of April 1995. I opened this with trepidation and was pleasantly surprised how drinkable it was, the aroma was of a Barley Wine and the taste was pretty sweet, not like an IPA at all. It was also clear body wise, but no real head. Glad I found it!

275ml bottle - a 1995 relic found at the very bottom of blackhaddocks dusty beer cupboard. Pours a clear varnished mahogany, sparse bubbles atop. No longer IPA in feel, very light bodied, barley wine comes to mind, but an exceptionally light and watery one. No cobwebs, or other bad aging flavours. Surprisingly drinkable. Rated kindly.
