Draught at the brewpub
Amber color. Light caramel aroma. Some flavor of caramel and toffee and butter. Ordinary.

On tap at the restaurant. Great, interesting, historic location. Beer itself was a pretty straight forward bitter. Didn’t offend, and complemented the burger nicely.

Bottled, at Chumley’s, NY. Crystal clear amber colour with an attractive lacy bone head. A little thin an not as bitter as I’m used to in the UK.

Like a bulldog, this "bitter" took a bite out of my esophagus with its strong hop body and penetrating wallop of bitterness. More like an IPA, really. Oh yeah, decent head with a copper body, but who really cares about that stuff.
