Cask Stillage at the Memorial Hall, Northwich 18/09/2004 Amber and slightly acidic with a slightly bitter finish.

Draught (Kingston Arms, Cambridge) Rich dark brown. Little head. No appreciable aroma. Slightly sour taste, presume not in perfect condition. Sweet malty and dark fruits taste, also some liquorice, maybe portwine too. A bit watery.

Bottle.Light brown with a medium head,aroma of malt and cream,taste is of malt,apple and red wine with a light sourness,dry finish.

A hazy orange beer with a thin white head. The aroma is malty with a slight acidic note. In the flavor the acidity comes out more clearly, but is combined with notes of caramel and malt. Weird I was the only one picking out the acidity in this bottle.

Bottle. Amber colour with a big off-white head. Sweet caramel malty, fruity aroma and taste. Medium body and a sweet finish.

Bottled. Pours a hazy dark amber, with a big head. Aroma is sweet malty, and spicy, Some fruityness present too. Taste is sweet malts, a hoppy bitterness,

A brownish bitter which was very lively when poured from the bottle. Plenty of bitterness but not much complexity.

Bottle from a Sainsburys off the M1on the outskirts of Northampton. Poured VERY flat, no head, clear dark colour. Palate is very malty & smooth, with a dry spicy finish. Quite a complex brew but...overall, a disappointment.

Cask Conditioned at The Dun Cow, Hornton, Oxon (Winter Beer Fest 05). Tawny colour with no head (Gravity Pour). Strangely hybrid beer, all malt with a mouthdrying finish, neither one thing nor the other. Perfumed cereal notes, thin and toasted.

Bottled. Sort of hedgerow fruit meets watery malt. A thin mouthfeel, slightly sour, slightly fruity. Not bad, but seemed to be diluted indeed.
