[Cask at the Three Guineas, Reading] Ruby-brown, large beige head & a slight fizz. Sour, woody aroma. Earthy taste with hints of smoke, coffee and blackberry. Very bitter for the style, which rather ruins the underlying flavours.

Cask: Deep amber coloured with ruby sparks, creamy stable beige head; dryish fruity nose with toasted malt and a tinge of smoke; smooth, light to moderate bitter-sweet flavour, nearly medium bodied; slightly vinous - and very faint sourish - bitter-sweet finish with a distinctive fruitiness. Good example.....

Bottle from Mr Lawrence Wine Merchants, Brockley. Dark brown pour with no head. Licorice, some chocolate and cinammon aromas. Flavours of caramel, some bitterness, chocolate malts, raisins. Very flat. I found this started off dull and lifeless but soon grew on me. ’Tis a slow grower.
