AlenomoreNot Tried28 Dec 2012 Alas, not to be, as it came to an end earlier this evening!
AlenomoreExceptional26 Dec 2012 Again, very nice.
AlenomoreExceptional15 Dec 2012 One of Harvey's best. A true winter warmer. Two halves I bought went well with the two malts my friend bought..
AlenomoreExceptional14 Dec 2012 A good nightcap. A deep, sweetish hue. Spot on.
AlenomoreExceptional09 Dec 2012 Superb. But just a half size, post dinner aperitif today?
PedroExcellent01 Dec 2012 Badged as 7.5% this time!
AlenomoreExceptional01 Dec 2012 A welcome sight. A good, rich, full flavoured winter warmer. A top seasonal at a premium price of £5.20. Possibly the highest price I've ever paid for an ale in the County Town, but very enjoyable.
AlenomoreExceptional29 Dec 2011 Superb as ever. Good to get this again. A proper nightcap?

AndrewGood03 Feb 2006 Imagin a municipal swimming pool full of raisin juice. Very raisiny with sweet alcohol finish
IanExcellent03 Feb 2006 Dark reddish brown with beige head. Really quite pleasant if slightly sticky sweet, quite a meaty aroma with lots of orange. Nice dry hop finish and some boiled sweet. Better on the second half pint
