Proper old school bitter, its more hoppy than I remember but its nicely balanced with the malt, hop and yeast character.

It pours a dark brown with hues of red, no foam, no lacing. As expected.

Smells of caramel malt, leather, tobacco, very fruity of the dark pitted kind, notes of sherry and more than a hint of fruity tartness. Oxidation is obvious.

Yep, the oxidation took a turn to the tart side; damn cork. Still has lots of sherry notes and leather, light sweetness, but really, it resembles a wine more than a beer at this point. Strong too, lots of heat in the swallow.

Full bodied. A chore to drink. 3rd time seeking this brew out wasn't so lucky.
