3.8 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Tried at the market porter. Okay i tried this because of the picture....when there’s nine other beers to try the one with the boobs on the pump clip will get my attention every time....anything to take the attention away from the barmaids weird pink jeans and muffin top! Amazing nose on this, probably the strongest malty nose i’ve ever had, delicious! 5/5 for appearance because it looked good and so did the clip...flavour was malt driven but lacked the hops to really balance it but not a bad beer.

Cask conditioned at The Woolpack, Banbury. Brown amber with slight white head. Rick told me that he thought the person on the phone had said ’Best Bitter’, oh yeah. Dull, malty bitter, sweetish, a little cloying, not one thing in particular stands out. A bit of a booby this one.

Cask Handpump at the Cross Keys, Knutsford 10/04/2001
Smooth on the palate with plenty of malt present.

Cask-conditioned @ JDW, Soton. Creamy, nutty aroma with a hint of wort. Slightly sweet with creamy bitter finish. Creamy and drinkable but unsatisfying.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Breast! Oh ho ho ho... Hand pulled at The Anchor, Birmingham. Smells like stale milk. A grey/brown colour, with a reasonable head. A very foody taste - egg or batter mix, or maybe cake mixture. Some caramel too. Very smooth transition from front to back - no dryness or hops, just sweet and lilting. OK, but rather cloying.
