Jun 18, 2007 Cask, Far From The Madding Crowd, Oxford. Red amber. Fine tan cap of foam. Plumy caramel malt, a touch of apples, rich, soft, attractive. Full malty richness, but enough rustic hop edge to reinforce the finish. Subtle autumn fruit esters. A nice malt-centric ale, in really good shape. Rating 600 for me. In the pleasant company of imdownthepub and the crowd from Banbury.

Nutty brown colour - and the flavour delivers everything the look promises, and more. Hazelnuts, full fruitiness, maybe apple, and loads of malt.

Clear, copper coloured ale with malt dominating but possessing plenty of bitterness. One particularly for the winter.
