chris_o (4409), London, Greater London, England Jul 5, 2005 Cask at Oakdale Arms Beer Festival, February 2005. Cloudy and towards the end of the barrel (hence a freebie). Deepish brown/red colour. Not much in the way of aroma. A bit yeasty. Plummy fruit and chewy toffee. I wonder whether this would have showed better if it was fresher.
Lubiere (3324), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Mar 4, 2005 On tap at the Oakdale Arms Beer Fest, Feb. 21 2005. Nice red copper ale with a nice lacing off-white head. Smooth caramel aroma with vanilla drops. Light brown ale with a discreet nuttyness. Lighter than expected yet interesting. SilkTork (3909), Rochester, Kent, England Feb 28, 2005 Oakdale Arms Beer Festival. End of barrel - but very nice. Burnt notes. Some twiggy hops. An old ale style, leaning towards sweet toffee. kook (2035), Perth, Western Australia, Australia Feb 26, 2005 Cask, Oakdale Arms BF: Touch of berry in the aroma. Amber in colour. Mild malty caramel flavour with some fruity notes. Medmium bodied. Not Bad!
