Cask conditioned at Banbury Beer Fest 07. Brown amber with slight white head. Darker roasted bitter than most with a fullish body, some nut character with quite a husky character, not enough on the finish for me but still decent enough. Can’t believe I haven’t rated this before.

<i>Cask at the Waggon & Horses (JDW), Alfreton.</i> Hazy gold with a thin cream head; leafy hop aroma; fruity and caramel flavours with a balanced bitterness. An acceptable ordinary bitter.

Cask@GBBF2008. Amber colour, small white head. Aroma is mild coffee, roast and some wood. Flavour is wood, sour coffee with some mild hints of wood. Nice fruity and wooden bitterness in aftertaste.
