Arundel Winston Church Ale

(Cask at Wenlock Arms, London, 9 Aug 2008) Dark amber colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, nutty nose with notes of dark fruit, prunes and coffee. Malty, nutty taste with dark fruit, prunes, raisins, caramel and a nutty finish with slightly earthy hops. Fairly nice one.

Cask gravity at The George, Bethersden. Chestnut colour with lasting beige head. Malty aroma. Nice fruit in mouth of the red variety. Some strawberry jam. Malty juicy finish with a smack of earthy hop. Would Sir Winston approve of being punned on this beer? Probably not, as he was a Pol Roger white foil drinker. Rather a delicious bitter though.
