UPDATED: NOV 9, 2012 Cask gravity at GBBF 2010. Reddy brown, lasting beige head. Some fruity malt. Bit dullish to be honest. Fine, some good vitterness onend. But could do with a bit more fruitiness. Bit too sulphur as brewer said. But decent. Re-rate. Bit better than before but tea flavour us there and could be fruitier. Good condition though.
