Philip Pirrip		02 Nov 2024	Good but a little flat
Philip Pirrip		03 Aug 2024	A whole mark lost for being poured through the defective handpump leaving me to decant between two glasses to bring a head, lacing and more condition
Philip Pirrip	Not Tried	11 May 2024	On the duff pump so did not bother
Philip Pirrip		04 May 2024	Pouring from this defective handpump never helps. Full of flavour but even multiple decantings between 2 glasses brought little head or lacing

Philip Pirrip		03 Feb 2024	First rate pour and condition in glass
Philip Pirrip		04 Nov 2023	A tad warm as if been in the pipes a while. Poured with no head or lacing
Philip Pirrip		30 Sep 2023	Alas poured totally flat like engine oil with not an iota of head. Multiple decantings between two glasses brought minimal life and a short lived head. No off flavours
Philip Pirrip		07 May 2022	Just slightly too chilled to enjoy at its best
Magnus Greel	Not Tried	19 Jul 2019
Philip Pirrip	Not Tried	26 Jan 2019	The nightcap I should have wanted if I had seen it earlier on the pumpclips at the other end of the bar. Ho hum

Philip Pirrip		01 Aug 2018	Could have been cooler, perhaps first out for a while. Full bodied delight as always though

Philip Pirrip		21 Jan 2024	Just a half fortunately. Head disappeared almost immediately - tired and flat
Philip Pirrip		18 Jan 2024	Real disappointment. No head or lacing, quite flat. Even multiple vigorous decantings to and fro with two pint glasses brought minimal life to the ale
Philip Pirrip	Not Tried	12 Oct 2023	Must be tiring now
Philip Pirrip		08 Oct 2023	I have had this presented much better
Philip Pirrip	Not Tried	31 May 2023
Philip Pirrip		28 May 2023	Full bodied but held little head or lacing

Philip Pirrip		04 Jan 2023	Came on at last knockings. Sensed a little fresh still
Philip Pirrip	Not Tried	08 Sep 2022	Hanging on in there
Philip Pirrip		04 Sep 2022	Disappointing with no head, rather flat and little natural condition

Philip Pirrip		27 Feb 2022	No more conditioning over time, flat but I acknowledge its full flavours
Philip Pirrip		25 Feb 2022	Needed more condition to hold a head and make less of a chore to down
Philip Pirrip	Not Tried	23 Oct 2021	Holding on by the end of fingertips

Philip Pirrip		13 Aug 2018	Crowned CAMRA Champion Beer of Britain 2018 last week and the pub had been storing a cask of this in the cellar awaiting cooler weather. How fortuitous

Magnus Greel		08 Dec 2018	I fancied a pint of tarmac after all that tropical citrus so teased by a taster I had a pint 'for the road'. Bitter coffee, toasted grains and brown sugar with a creamy smooth texture - nice!
