(Bottle 50 cl) Reddish brown with a warm orangey glow and a huge, deliciously creamy head. Complex, malty beer with the flavours almost queuing up to impress my taste buds. This is almost like a dry Sherry with a nutty character and only a discreet bitterness and a hint of sweetness. Very sophisticated, vinous brew. A real sipping beer. Yummy. 130401

Bottle: Amber coloured, thin off-white fluffy head, lasting; malty nose with a tinge of bitterness and some fruity notes; light bitter flavour; soapy (or cheesy, caused by rotten hops ?) bitterness in the finish; rather unpleasant and disappointing.....................

Bottle from Sainsburys. Badged as Wadworth Bishop’s Tipple. Thin white head. Sweetish fruit but underlying yeast, acids and earthy hops. Slightly full but acidic in mouth some apple fruit and then tangy hop finish with more earthy hops. Hot alcohol burn. Not much for me to recommend this

Amber, low head. Hint roastyness on the aroma. Slight fruityness - a hint hops. Overall quite watery and boring.

Cask at County Hotel JDW Ashford. Golden, quite hoppy with citrus but then reduces to sweaty socks aroma. Bit of lemon and then nothing much rather disliked it by the end

Bottled. Copper coloured with white foamy head. Caramellish malty nose along with hops. Hoppy flavour along with a bit caramelly hints. Quite dry and a bit sticky palate.

Cask hand pull, Wetherspoons Ashford, Kent. Reddish brown colour, with red fruit malt flavour and dry hop finish. Better than I expected

Rerate, cask at The Shipwrights, North Hylton, Sunderland. A nice little beer, this one. Aroma a bit like Marston’s Pedigree, but less pronounced. Smooth and mellow, fruit and nuts in the flavour. No true "masterpiece", but certainly a drinkable pint.

Bottled (BB 07/2005)
Ruby brown (slightly hazy) with a good creamy off-white head. Aroma is a bit dunky with rubber, hops and caramel. Sweetish portwineous palate with Fuggles hops giving bitter flavor. Bittersweet it is - makes this hard to enjoy in full. Caramelly and aromatic hoppy aftertaste.

A brown beer (not ruby) with a fine orange head. The aroma is sweet malty with roasted notes as well as notes of oranges. The flavor is very roasted and with a dry hoppy end.
