(Cask at Market Porter, Southwark, London, 21 May 2010) Reddish amber colour with brief, beige head. Malty, fruity nose with notes of dried fruit and red berries. Malty, fruity taste with red berries, dried fruit, toffee and a mild, spicy bitterness. Medium body, with some sweetness. Tasty and well balanced, but hardly exciting.

29th May 2008. ’Belgian Style Ale’ said the blurb. Hmmm. Really just a mildly hopped ale. Very easy drinking.

Cask at the Hop Pole, Aylesbury, Bucks I took the tasting notes for this from the Peterborough Beer Festival website as there was nothing about this on the Black Hole brewery website that I could see. First things first the beer that I had poured a very pale gold in fact I would suggest it was more straw like in colour with a white head. Aroma was citrussy and fruity. Taste really quite bitter, good length, crisp and dry but hops are very much to the fore and I was surprised atthe bitterness of this, Its a decent beer and aside from the light brown description every things else in the commercial write-up is spot on. A7 A4 F7 P4 Ov14 3.6 Had this again on Cask, handpump at FFTMC, Oxford 17.04.11 Pours mid gold with a white rim of bubbles. Some honey and whilst pleasant the hops seemed a little subdued and not quite the beer I had hoped for. A6 A4 T7 P3 Ov12 3.2
