Leigh		12 May 2009	Very nice dark mild, full of black chocolate and port-like flavours. Strong, however - proceed with caution. Very light for it's abv and style, and far superior to the bottled version.

Ian		27 Dec 2009	One of my favourite dark beers.
Ian		25 Apr 2007	Requisite chocciness with decent malts and makes it a tasty drinkable premium bitter.
Ian		31 Jan 2006	Deep ruby with thick lasting beige head. Some choc malts, some burntness. Aroma is a bit nasty. Bit thin in mouth. Poor effort at this beer. Is this the W&D influence?
Ian		05 May 2005	Dark ruby colour. Thin chocolate malt on nose. Needed to be changed, tasted like it had been on for about a week.
Ian		30 Apr 2005	Good malty chocolate/coffee flavours. Good strong malty ale
Ian		03 Apr 2005	Dark brown, Malty nose, roast malt and chocolate/coffee flavours. Stunning. The intensity of the flavours make this a must

Dubbel		25 Dec 2008	I must learn to ignore the other beers in this pub and stick to this regular favourite. Always delivers, thick, dark and appetising, roasted mocha malts and not spoiled by the sparkler.
