davidg83		19 Sep 2011	Very nice dark beer. Full of fruit, as close to a slice of fruitcake in a pint glass you can get. Gentle malts also enjoyable served with a lasting off colour head. Good stuff.

Bear & Ragged Staff		03 Jul 2011	Lots of lovely dark flavours, liqourice, vanilla, chocolate and coffee. Well balanced but a little thin on body and a slightly acidic aftertaste.

Blair		25 Jun 2009	Apparently this is a premium bitter. Looks and tastes more like a porter to me. Either way I thought it was fantastic. Light with subtle flavours of coffee and chocolate. A very distinguished beer.

Ian		24 Feb 2007	This has got a lovely wide mouthfeel to it. Very good malts and some toasty, coffee, choc flavours and some fruit. A little creamy in the mouth, but a good beer from a really good brewery.

Ian		05 Jan 2007	Very deep ruby colour with thick lasting beige head. Maybe getting towards the end of the barrel as it took a bit of pumping to get the pint, which killed some of the carbonation in the glass. Very nice dark ale though. Juicy dark fruits, plums, but not sour and good choc flavours. Finish is really quite drying. Extremely drinkable. Lovely finish. Choc and ark fruit aroam. Some sweet blackberry. Brilliant pint. Full and rich with a bit of puckering of the mouth on the finish.
