johndoughty (1681), cheslyn hay, West Midlands, England Feb 16, 2008 Bottle. Slightly muddy appearance on opening which was a bit off putting. Pleasantly fruity with a medium body. Some bitterness and quite a powerful presence. Shame about the appearance. Pub (4124), Banbury, Oxfordshire, England Jun 2, 2007 Cask conditioned at Brecon Beer Festival, Castle Hotel, Brecon, Powys. Dark amber with no head. Dry, bitter beer but with a strong boiled vegetable note, maybe a bit cabbagy. Some sweetness through the finish, dark roasted malt. Its ok.
