Blair		06 Mar 2010	I really, really liked this, a borderline 5 star beer in my opinion. Malty brown bitter with a chocolatey flavour to it. Incredibly moreish.

Ian		25 May 2009	Looked to be the best selling beer on. Very tasty dark brown ale, lots of grain flavours. Only a touch of diacetyl that faded second time round.

Ian		08 May 2009	Kelly from the brewery says this is his favourite Thornbridge beer. I like this very much, lots of very good roasty toasty malts and served in very good nick.
Dubbel		25 Mar 2009	Cleaner and more pronounced coffee flavours that before. Lovely.

Dubbel		17 Mar 2009	More of a sweet milk chocolate than cocoa flavour. Plenty of hopping to battle against the malts. Very well put together.
Dubbel		05 Feb 2009	Nu-skool brown ale, deliciously flavoured with thick chocolate malts.

Ian		04 Mar 2009	Really good, better than at The Rake at the meet the brewers. No diacetyl. Very solid brown ale. Good malts, like a more mallty Lord Marples from the same brewery.

Ian		17 Jan 2009	Lots of toast and malt and some good hop on the finish. Really drying on the finish. Great to watch the brewer, Kelly, sink a pint of this and the smile on his face. Obviously very happy with how it turned out. This is a very drinkable, tasty brown ale style beer with a really toasty drying flavour and finish.
