Cask handpull, The Fat Cat, Norwich. Headless tawny amber. Lovely jellied red musty hop hints in the aroma, earthy black olive and vine fruit coming through. Mild-like slight chocolate, bread and biscuit, some leather. Another small beer big on flavour and personality.

Small coarse white head. Chestnut brown body. Faint nutty aroma. Dry-sweetish nutty wooden caramel taste with faint fruity notes. Soft, mild mouthfeel. Light body. Dry roasty wooden floral caramel aftertaste with dusty notes. Sweetish throughout. Lovely and extremely drinkable. (0.25l cask, The Bricklayer’s Arms, Putney, London.)
