Mid orange-brown, tiny head. Black tea aroma, a little nutty. Slightly watery, not thin though. Taste has some slight sourness, some over-ripe fruit esters, and wet sheep. Decent hop component, but not particularly exciting. Maybe barrel was a little old, and Spooning was taking place.

Jun 18, 2008 Updated: Jul 11, 2008Handpulled at JDW Hatch End, Harrow. Looked good, Orange/brown with fair white head. Not much aroma but nothing wrong, then the taste.....?????? Strange to say the least. A combination of plastic and cheddar cheese! Very little hop characture. Quite distinctive but really not very nice. 1.6 RERATE! 11/7/08 JDW Stanmore. Tried this beer again. Totally different taste this time. Much better.

May 3, 2008 Cask - Glasshouse ’Spoons, Norwich. A clear, dark amber with a thin and bubbly off-white head. Sweet yet dusty caramel aromas. Similar flavour profile with a light hoppy finish. Soft mouthfeel, easy on the palate. Would make a decent session bitter.
