cask at the swan ... copper ... bubbly white head ... soft toffee malts nose... nutty blackcurrant malts ... soft toffee ... hint of licorice

Cask conditioned at Wantage Beer Fest ’11. Brown with white head. Malty with a flatish, earthy note, quite drying, but essentially a very basic bitter. It’s ok but somewhat unexciting.

UPDATED: OCT 26, 2011 Cask, gravity, Wantage Beer Festival 19.11.10 Pours brown with good clarity, heavy on butterscotch and nuttiness, in fact if my eyes were closed I would think that this was more Mild like in flavour, it’s a touch thin and watery, i’m getting a little peanut brittle, ok. A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov11 3.0 Had this again on cask, handpump at The Swan Faringdon, Oxon 22.10.11 in company of Loz, Jan, Charlotte, Craig, Stella & kids. Pours dark brown in fact chestnut would be a more accurate description, a little nutty. There is a hint of perfum on the nose, its bitterer than I expected or recalled, some cocoa and smooth chocolate, once again I see this more as a mild than a bitter. A6 A3 T6 P3 Ov13 3.1
