 sm89walt (167), Norwich and Canterbury, Norfolk, England
Feb 4, 2008 Cask - Thomas Beckett, Canterbury. Copper coloured with a fine white head. Creamy caramel aromas with some musty, watery hops. Simple hop flavours on the tongue, remaining somewhat flat and thin with the ocassional burst of sweetness. No real lasting finish, no real lasting impression.

Dec 4, 2007 Cask, Far From the Madding Crowd, Oxford. Copper, no head. Caramel and a minty leafy aroma, rustic. Sweet leafy earth flavor, pleasant and unassuming. Soft sweet palate. Could use some more carbonation than it was served with here. Still, not bad.

Nov 12, 2007 Bitteswell. Buttery oak nose with a squeeze of old sock. Soft and sulphurous. Clear red capped with lacy fluff. Buttery vanilla creaminess, raisin and watery sourish fruit. More of the sock as it warms. Strangely ok.

Jul 24, 2007 Dark golden with a decent foam head. Scent is sugary with some caramel. Flat and a touch watery. Not much in the mouth, just hops. Sweet at first, then briefly bitter, but neither lasts. Hint of sulphur in there.
