Cask gravity at Kent BF 2006. Chestnut colour with lasting beige head. Malty and red berries aroma. Yes, malty in mouth too. Some hoppy dryness on end, but mostly a dry medium malt bitter. Fine.

Mahogany res with a nice head. The aroma is fresh with lots of hops and malt and notes of fruit. The flavour has notes of roasted malt, light sweetness and a pronounced, dry bitterness. This beer has a interesting and good balance, that I like very much.

Bottled, pasteurised, 500 ml. Chestnut red with white bubbly head, reasonable condition. Good rich malty flavour with a caramel background and a lasting bitterness. Sharp on the close with a little floral note. Reasonable pasteurise beer.

Bottle from booths, keswick. Aroma is biscuity, hints of grainy malt, grassy and hints of citrus. Taste is again a malty chap with similarly hoppy notes to aroma.
