| Hogan Sampling |  | 23 Nov 2024 | Good head and lacing. A malty first hit with a lingering bitterness and a perfect accompaniment to the curry. |

| Stephen Harris |  | 23 Feb 2020 | A rich and satisfying Old Ale. |

| Stephen Harris | | 24 Dec 2017 | Branded as an Old Ale but has little resemblance to the classic Old Ales I am familiar with from Harveys and Adnams. Very decent though – chocolatey and dark brown in colour. |
