Had this at the White Horse Tavern at Oxford. Half pint since it was the morning and my stomach wasn’t too happy with me. Pour is a golden brown with a tan head. Aroma is chocolate (?) and hay. Taste is floral hops, chocolate, hay, and earth followed up by hay and a medium roast coffee. Hand drawn and creamy palate. This was one of the better bitters I’ve had overseas for sure! A nice surprise from a hole in the wall tavern!

Feb 18, 2009 Cask at Angleterre, Helsinki. Slightly hazy dark amber color with creamy head. Sweet fruity aroma with raspberry. Bittersweet, caramelly, nutty, toffeish, biscuity and fruity flavor with apple, orange marmelade and raspberry. The palate is slightly woody, tannic and cidery but not in a bad way. Very original, nice balance between toffee, caramel, wood and fruit.

Hoppy aroma. Alas, it’s sour in the mouth. Harsh. Sour. Nope. Should rerate, as the aroma had promise.
Unusually, not shared by Anna.
