3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Decent musk to the nose, dank yellow body and silky white head. Straw and syrup in equal measure on initial taste with a milky mouth feel. An initially clean palate dries toward a biting musty malt finish.
Nothing amazing but does everything you’d be expecting from the ABV very well.

3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
(Cask at Gallows Real Ale Festival 2011) The beer poured golden and clear. Its head was small and white. Aroma had teabag, toffee and malts. Palate was medium bodied. Flavours were malts, molasses, toffee, sweetness, hops and bitterness. Aftertaste was sweet and bitter. I would call this an average bitter if the colour is left out. Nothing wrong and nothing impressive.
