10th April 2008 Manages to be both in your face malt and hops with an odd sour tea flavour. Not well joined up!

Cask conditioned at the Knights Templar JDW, Bristol December 2006. A reddish beer with little head. The aroma combined fruity malt with a whiff of citrus. Flavour-wise, it began with red fruit and ended with pleasant hoppy dryness. Well-balanced and enjoyable.

Huge light tan head. Deep red body with small particles in it. Aroma is spicy wooden acidity. Taste is deep acidic salty metallic vomit-like. This is seriously infected. Yuck, yuck, YUCK! Not just undrinkable, but unsippable, even. Needs to be rerated, if I dare. (0.5l bottle. Weird that KnutAlbert bought his bottle one the same day in the same shop and gave it 3.9. Talk about bad luck!)

Bottle conditioned. Color is dark / mid brown, very much like a cola with a beige head. The bitterness / hopiness do not come very fresh ! Strange beer !!

A bubbly deep red beer with a thin light brown head. The aroma is strong with notes of berries - tending to be over ripe, with that special sweetness to them combined with notes of wood, apples, and yeast. The flavor is sweet, but not as complex as the aroma, it contains notes of berries, and wood, as well as a hint of spice, and with a very smooth woody finish - almost hints of smoke.
