Cask; Regular. Also available bottle conditioned at 4.8%. Ratings for the bottled version should be entered under Bath Gem (Bottle)

A rich aroma of hops and malt develops a full texture in the mouth. It has a long, deep, bitter-sweet finish. Without doubt an exceptional best bitter.

Ingredients: Maris Otter pale malt. Challenger and East Kent Goldings hops.

Cask (Red Bull, Cambridge)
Smooth, almost keggy. Nice, but sweet and simple. Bit thin on the hops, and a bit dull.

OleR (3510) - Oslo, NORWAY - JAN 26, 2012
From cask @Edgar Wallace, London. A thin grayish blond lace, over deep amber colored body. Toffee/caramel aroma. Some dusty and lightly spiced hops as well. Light malt body. Light caramel and rounded toasted bready malts. Noticable bittering hops, faint spicy hops for flavoring. Softly carbonated, gentle on the palate. Super drinkability, a more than decent Bitter.

tombyars (672) - Saltcoats, SCOTLAND - OCT 4, 2011
Tried this at The Lord Moon of the Mall, Whitehall, London in July 2008. Cask, handpump dispense. Pale copper in colour with a thick buff tan head. Distinct vanilla fudge and crunchie notes in a lingering sweet aroma. Smooth and rich flavoursome mouthfeel. Mixed malt complex gives an initial roast flavour of toasted almonds and coconut. Main malt component gives a good whack of molasses, overipe figs and vanilla toffee. Slight hop presence in the brief aftertaste but vanilla makes an appearance right at the finish. Superb complex porter, full of robust rich flavours. Tastes far stronger than og suggests. Highly recommended.

JoeMcPhee (6831) - Toronto, ON, Ontario, CANADA - AUG 17, 2011
Cask at The Anchor at Tintern Abbey. Amber pour. The aroma is leafy and woody. Deeper malt flavour than the last one with a bit of buckwheat honey flavour. Moderate bitterness and a little bit of light toast. Fuggles hop flavour. A touch of soapiness but it’s not obnoxious in any way. Decent bitter, but I prefer the last one.

EdKing (761) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - JUN 17, 2011
Pint in Anchor Bleu, Bosham. Pours toffee amber. Thin head. Nose is sweet toffee malt, fruit hops and musky grain. Taste is nicely balanced toffee malt and fruit hops. Very little bitterness on the finish and quite smooth.

On tap, pours bronze. Aroma and flavour of toasted malt, light hops, with a bitter aftertaste. Drinkable.
