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.

Cask@GBBF2010. Reddish amber colour, small head. Aroma is pretty much diarrhea like (lots of berries, some yeast and sweetish malts). Flavour is grassy, grainy, yeasy and a bit berryish. If this beer was in condition, it doesn’t suit me at all.

From cask. Pours clear and golden deep amber with a small white head. Aroma is dark malty, slight spiced and roasted. Roasted malty, slight fruity. Breadish and roasted into the finish. Mild bitter into a rather malty finish.
