Bottle picked up from Westholme, Londis, Goring-on-Thames, Oxon, had this 11-05-08 Almost chestnut in colour with a slim bubbly white head. Some dusty hops on the nose. Taste is surprisingly bitter but with some maltiness showing, the strength and the sweetness do their best to temper this but the bitter finish lingers somewhat, despite what sounds like criticism, I actually didn’t mind this at all.

Mar 21, 2008 Bottle. Hazy reddish brown colour with a little head. Aroma of dry toffee and dry caramel. Flavour of malt, munich and amber malt. Very harsh bitter and hints of chocolate/smoke. Not very balanced.
