Cask at NWAF 2009. A pale amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has notes of malt and pumpernickle bread - reminds me of a bock. The flavor is sweet with notes of pumpernickle bread and hints of sulphur, leading to a dry bitter finish. The body is light. OK - would be even better with more bock characteristics.

Cask at the Manchester inter Ales Festival. Amber colour with medium white head. Something odd in the aroma I couldn’t place, chips? Batter? Something foody and fatty. Taste was pretty decent though. I liked it, my notes are rubbish.

Bottle. Brown and poured with a medium head. Quite acidic which made enjoyment quite difficult. With a bit of care on the bottling front this might have been a pleasant bitter.
