| Garry | | 15 Feb 2011 | Gosh I deliberated over this. This tasted almost... almost... as good as DBA from the hey day of Ind Coope. Had the sweetness tempered by the chestnutty flavour; and the alcohol bite; just lacked something tiny... As close to 5 stars as you can get... |
| Garry |  | 07 Dec 2010 | A rare treat, a pub which serves this beer which used to be readily available. Seems to have benefited by it's move to Lee's, has become more chestnutty and flavour but still not as bitter in it's prime. |

| Garry | | 29 Mar 2011 | This is much better than last time. Distinctive tastes present with strong flavours, almost metallic, on the back of the palette. Just a hint of the original nose. Almost 5 star |
| Garry |  | 18 Mar 2011 | Oh dear. So looked forward to, but such a let down; where were the the DBA tastes? Maybe my palette was blunted due to having a few at the beer festival but this was bland and insipid; will try again but tres disappointing. |

| ChrisE | | 16 Nov 2010 | Selling well tonight. This beer seems to have improved since it moved to Lees. It was good to see the barman having a pint of it. |
| ChrisE | | 04 Feb 2010 | I am not sure who brews this now. It is becoming an increasingly rare beer these days, and this was considerably better than the last time that I drank it, with much more of the original flavour from Ind Coope Burton days. |

| Stephen | | 23 Oct 2009 | Now made in Leeds I read its the best selling ale in there so decided to try it its a strong bitter rather than a Burton ale but its fine. |

| Ian | | 24 Aug 2010 | Wow, haven't had this in ages, but that yeast aroma is so distinctive. Very drinkable bitter. |

| Ian | Not Tried | 25 Apr 2008 | It was a bit vinegary, so the barmaid changed my pint for something else. |
