FatPhil (1965), Espoo, Finland May 19, 2008 Cask (Penny Black, Bicester)
Rich brown, sparkler head. Not lacking in subtlety, but alas lacking in sophistication. Punchy raw maltiness, a bit flat and oxidised. Probably old. Should rerate.
gary07734 (107), Tyne & Wear, England Jul 20, 2008 On tap, creamy brown pour, small cream head. Drink is surprisingly watery, some bitter flavour but nothing to excite you. Dull. mjs (427), Finland Jul 9, 2008 (Draught in Douglas on 2008-07-05) Pale amber. Clear. Medium-sized dense white head. Light malty nose. Light to medium palate with some carbonation. Some malts and lightly bitterness in taste. Watery. albertane (218), Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, England Jun 29, 2008 Cask at the Peacock, Nottingham. This is a copper coloured bitter with a very thin, watery consistency. Both the aroma and flavour are dominated by bready, grainy malt without much bitterness. I found it rather boring. evilsoc (138), Wales May 7, 2008 Cereal, malt and liquorice nose, some herbs. Sweetish. quite nice but I lost interest.
