Blair | 03 Feb 2009 | Very nearly 5 stars for this one. Rich, dark and chocolatey. Silky smooth with a nice underlying coffee/smoke taste to it. This is getting better and better, much like all of Eddie's beers. | |
Andrew | 08 Feb 2007 | I had this for the first time really 5 days ago at the Dover Beer Festival and this just goes to show you can't define a pint of real ale by trying it once. This was a totally different pint. Imagine drinking alcoholic raisens with the sugar taken out, combined with burnt parsnip and with a rich dark dry sherry bitter finish. It was nothing like the Dover beer. I must have more before I make my mind up about it. |

Ian | 15 Aug 2007 | This was chocolatey and stunning. | |
Ian | 13 Jun 2007 | I'm guessing this was a barrel from the winter that has been left to mature. Smooth. Good roasted grains with a hint of dark fruits and a finish that grows and grows. Hop and blackberry. Gorgeous. Choc, black cherry aroma is great. Full in mouth. | |
Ian | 17 Nov 2006 | Brown/ruby colour with lasting beige head. Smelt and tasted fresh. Dark fruits, dark plums, sweet damsons and then choc, milk choc, slight powder that then slides into the dryness of the hop finish. Great balanced porter. Juice and liquorice are just right, the rich fruit is just right and the dryness. Great English porter. Really tasty and full of flavour. | |
Andrew | Not Tried | 04 Feb 2006 | |
Ian | 12 Jan 2006 | Dark brown with disappearing beige head. Not as fruity as last Friday. More bitter choc/coffee and bit thinner in body. Still a nice porter though | |
Ian | 06 Jan 2006 | Ok so I had 10 minutes before my train so I could only have a very fast half, but this was good. Deep ruby colour with thin beige head. Really pretty fruity with some coffee and bit of choc. Hoppy drying finish. Exceptional dark fruit nose. Vinous in mouth with good warming alcohol. My friend Martin went back the following day and confirmed that it was indeed a cracking porter. |

Blair | 31 Oct 2009 | This was on absolute top form today. Incredibly rich and moreish, chocolate and dates dominate with a lovely tartness. When at it's best I think this beer is nigh unbeatable. | |

Blair | 08 Mar 2009 | I had the first pint out of the barrel. It was gorgeous, thick and rich. Like christmas cake in a glass. | |

Ian | 07 Feb 2009 | Excellent really, after a couple of poor beers, this was great. I bought it and drank it walking down the hall to the glass return desk. Great dark fruit. Damson, dark plum. Good condition. Lovely. |

Blair | 13 Feb 2008 | I wasn't expecting a pint this good in a hotel. Smooth, velvety with chocolate and liquorice. Branded glass as well... |

Andrew | 13 Feb 2007 | What an excellent pint this was - so good I stuck with it all night. It had a good wood-resin and black malt taste with hints of dark fruit. There was a milky undertone that carried the black malt really well. However, the £3.20 a pint price tag was a bit steep |

Brian | 14 Dec 2005 | I'm really not a Gadds fan. Astringent with only slight hop flavour. | |
Andrew | 28 Nov 2004 | All I could really taste was the alcohol. No real body. |

Andrew | 01 Jan 2005 | Strong tasting dark porter but I only had a sip so it's hard to give a fair rating |
