HSB		04 Apr 2015	Landlord saves a nine for Easter every year. He gives the cask an occasional roll to keep it working. He said that some years are better than others. This was superb. Christmas pudding raisins and sultanas. It retained its head all the way down the pint, and its freshness.

HSB		26 Dec 2014	Superb. Best for some years.

HSB		29 Jul 2014	The pub normally keeps a cask for a year but decided to tap it in conjunction with the beer festival. We had a half between us. It was sour and reminiscent of a Belgian beer. It had probably been in the pipe sometime.

Ian		27 Jan 2007	Very deep ruby, with lasting beige head. Adnams yeasty aroma. Some dark malts, but the dark fruits are the stand out things here. Nice tingly hop finish. Not bad toffee too. The pump clip kept being turned around and then it was back on again.
