Doppelganger (1206), Oxford, Oxfordshire, England Sep 24, 2008 Cask, Turf Tavern, Oxford. Sturdy copper, just off-white head. Lots of minerals in the nose, sulfer, farmy hops, pound cake. Brisk, full raisin/butter bitterness, blackberries, dry toasty caramel with a rye edge. Light, pleasant, good flavor to abv ratio. cgarvieuk (2547), Edinburgh, Scotland Sep 5, 2008 pale golden yellow nice tight head, ,fizzy and fruity but with a little grassy hop background renffisch (461), london, Greater London, England Mar 11, 2008 cask at the sultan. light hops in nose, straw gold in colour and then... tastes of wet leather, mouldy cheese and chalk. and a bit metallic. good mouthfeel if you can stand the taste. Finn (1092), Tromsø, Norway Feb 18, 2008 Cask/gravity at Battersea Beer Festival 6 Feb 08. Golden brown colored. An OK soapy tanned head. Modest fruity aroma. Dry paperish flavor. A dry finish with hints of biscuit. Ethereal (927), London, Greater London, England Feb 17, 2008 Gravity cask at the Battersea Beer Festival, 6th Feb 2008. Rather yeasty aroma gets things off to a bad start. Golden yellow in colour, tastes like you’d expect a golden ale to taste. Flat palate however. Decent enough, but flawed and a bit uninspired.
