hughie (2458), Bedford, Bedfordshire, England Sep 13, 2008 Cask at Wellington Arms, Bedford. Amber with a small white head. Malty aroma with a rather lovely note of faint woodsmoke. Taste continues the slightly ashy theme, but it doesn’t dominate by any means, and there are other shifting, evanescent, possibly fruity flavours to enjoy. A subtle and understated beer. GarethYoung (1108), Glasgow, Scotland Oct 18, 2006 [Cask at The Three Judges] Amber with a moderate, dense head. Toasted malt, dusty yeast character, perfumed, some grassy notes. Light and dry. haddonsman (1214), Derby, Derbyshire, England Mar 21, 2006 Cask (handpump) at the Brunswick festival, 2005. A well fruited bitter. OK I suppose. kook (2034), Perth, Western Australia, Australia Nov 4, 2004 Sweet malt and a hint of smoke in aroma, Amber in appearance. Fruity hoppy flavour with a dry mid and finish. duff (5407), Sydney, Australia, Surrey, England Oct 24, 2004 Cask@St Albans BF. Earthy, lightly caramelly and, yes, perhaps lightly smoky, tangy lemon and lightly salty, i quite like it.
