Very heavy malty, toffee, fudget nose.
Palat is sweet with alot of toffee flavours and not much bitterness. Caramel is all over it.

UPDATED: APR 28, 2010 1) ’Wayfarer IPA’, cask gravity, The Crown Summer BF 09, Nuneaton. Bright and golden with a tenacious head and lace specks. Freshly squeezed armpit, grapefruit, spliff, struck match and celery aroma. Humming tropical hop, dip of crackerbread, vanilla but hardly any, heady green resins, dry roasted peanut, some butter and popcorn in the aftertaste. Hopped up and mellow. A belter, betraying something of a BrewDog influence. Hands down Beer of The Festival.
2) (Spoons fest rate) The Baron, Hinckley. Pure gold with a shaving foam top draping the glass. Marmalade tang aroma; excellent mandarin jelly, piney and floral hop leading into fresh husky peanut malts; softer, clinging bread and cashew afters. Last minute, but one of the best beers of the festival for me.

Cask Conditioned at The Vat & Fiddle, Nottingham. Golden beer with white head. Spicy, fruity and oh so many hops. Dry and clean, loads of bitterness.

Hand pulled at the Figure of Eight, Birmingham. Honey golden. Perfumed aroma - nice. Lovely condition. Balanced, crisp bitter, with salt and a bit of oily hops (quite subtle). Some peppery bitterness. Super session beer.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Cask handpull at Society Rooms, JDW, Maidstone. Clear gold, lasting creamy head due to quite tight sparklers used here. Bit of yeast on aroma, but quite pleasing citrusy American hops too. Hugely drinkable in the body. The hops on the finish are really attractive, right level of bitterness, citrusy grapefruit flavour and develops a very good aftertaste. A golden ale done well.

UPDATED: OCT 19, 2011 1. Cask Stillage at the Bhurtpore Inn, Aston 10/07/2003
Clear golden coloured and pale with some fruit. Slight dryness in the hoppy finish.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Cask at GBBF08. Distinctly fruity hop aroma. Hazy golden colour, very small white head. The flavour has a really good hop character, grassy, citric and grapefruity. Finally a cask ale with some hops.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Cask conditioned handpump Eastgate Northampton. A golden beer with a white head. A good citrussy beer. Sharp bitterness. Good hop flavours which pronounce themselves above the malt. A tasty citrus fruity beer.
