Cask @ "The Man Of Kent" Rochester. Simple eazy to sink old man type of beer, this 28 year old digged it too. Dusty hops are spicy and floral. Toffee malts ..some fruity orange..earth ..pine and lemon zest. This beer ,despite being floral-does taste a bit like its got cobwebs all over it. Dusty yeast or something. Nice brew anyway bozo.

This was available on the SPA Valley Railway Fish and Chip Special from a pin. I will try to find it on draught as soon as possible. A very pleasant ale, well balanced with a light hoppy finish.
