Magnus GreelExceptional04 Aug 2022 Freshly scraped off the nearby roadworks this syrup of bitumen and molasses created a complex flavour feast with a bitter lingering burnt coffee hit, a tinge of blackcurrant with a beefy oxo finish - a perfect end to today's proceedings..

Philip PirripGood21 Feb 2022 Excellent condition but served too cold and so neutralised some of the complex flavours
Philip PirripExcellent17 Sep 2015 First rate - so much so that one turned into two, three then four. But at an excruciating price of £4.50pp for a beer that will be subject to a low PBD rate
