MrWalker (928), Stockholm, Sweden Jan 7, 2005 Cask @ Oxford Beer Festival, UK Backlog 23 Oct 2004 Unbalanced roastiness. Quite malty and harsh. Probably spent to long time in the mash. Pub (4047), Banbury, Oxfordshire, England Oct 24, 2004 Cask Conditioned at Oxford Beer Festival ’04. Dark brown red beer with a big bubbly head. Dry roasted malt flavours predominate but with a powdery bitterness. Nut flavour on the finish, this is a crossover between a mild and a bitter. chris_o (4409), London, Greater London, England Aug 26, 2004 A slightly unusual beer from a brand new brewery. Very dark for a bitter - chestnut colour. Roasty malt aroma with some sulphur. Malt, hop and a hint of chocolate in the flavour. Dry finish, with some bitterness. A bit like a cross between a mild and a premium bitter. Not bad though. Cask (gravity), Peterborough Beer Festival 2004.
SilkTork (3882), Rochester, Kent, England Aug 26, 2004 Peterborough Fest. Dark bitter. Slightly acidic. Chocolate notes. A darker and stronger version of the Common. The two Fugelestou beers certainly drew attention - this being the first time beers from this new brewery have been available. Mick the Tick came up and quickly bagged them before they ran out.
