Aug 31, 2009 Bottled An amber coloured beer with a large whitish head. The aroma has obvious pasteurisation with cardboard notes together with a little fruit and nut. Reasonable maltiness in the mouth but still got that papery edge. Not a patch on the cask version.

Malty, toasty taste with nuts, caramel, citrus, raisins and spicy hops in the finish. Medium body, balanced sweetness. Better balance than in the cask ale. Quite nice actually.

Aug 25, 2009 Draught at the Britannia Arms. Drak amber-brown color with a creamy, lasting head. The aroma is nothing much, just some toasty grain and caramel malt sweetness. The flavor is sweet in balance, but not really sweet in itself, with some dark bread, and light caramel and toffee followed by a nutty finish and some mineral and hop bitterness. Medium-light in body with soft carbonation. Pleasant overall, with an earthy finish.

Aug 23, 2009 It poured a clear dark amber liquid with a medium foam that left a nice big lacing on the side of the glass.
It had a fairly weak scent of caramell, malt, grassy hops, hay and a hint of rosehip.
It tasted of caramell, butter, hay and grassy hops. It also had a quite thick and creamy body with some stingy bitterness. Not very smooth or easy to drink.

Aug 10, 2009 Quite a decent, refreshing beer to drink, pouring with a so-so head and a nice, dark colour. Aroma was slightly malty as was the taste. A good drink.
