Cask conditioned, half pint at Barony Bar. Copper- amber body. Low head with fragile lace dripping. Fine malt-fruity aroma. Blend of caramel malts and leafy hops in flavour, developing into a nice bitter round off. Traditional good British bitter (Edinburgh, 01.12.2010).

bottle from a petrol station near Exeter. Brownish colour, lots of chocolate in the nose. Full malty flavours, lots of cocoa, chocolate, raisins, fudge, blackcurrant and berries. Slightly hoppy. A full-bodied, flavourful, delicious ale.

Cask-conditioned at the Knights Templar (JDW), Bristol 31/10/09. Amber with a decent white head. Sweet aroma of caramel and red fruits. Flavour had more of the same, with some oranges and earthiness in the finish. Ok.

(bottle) Clear, dark amber to brown colour with a mid-sized tanned foamy head. Moderately sweet and slightly toasted (cara-)malty aroma with soft fruity (citrus) and flowery hoppy notes. Sweet-bitter flavour, light to medium bodied with a smooth carbonation. Cara-malty, slightly earthy and toasty taste with light fruity hops; medium-dry malt-accented and mildy hoppy finish. Just a nice D-day beer but I was expecting something more (11.VIII.09).
