Hand pulled pint into a UK sleeve during the 2011 Wetherspoons Autumn Beer Fest. Don’t see this beer outside of its home county too often so leapt at the chance to have a pint when I saw it in London while visiting my son. Dark brown in appearance with a hop spicey aroma that fills the nose. The taste however is more malty than hoppy, although towards the end of the mouthfeel you get a dry, semi-bitter hop finish. Hops used are: Brewer’s Gold, Challenger, Goldings and Styrian Gold. Considering the selection of hops in the brew I was surprised the overall feel is of a malty beer, but it certainly isn’t hoppy.

Cask at the Cornfield Garage (JDW), Eastbourne. Chestnut with a thin cream head; caramel aroma; rich caramel flavour with roasted malts; and an earthy finish. I was expecting something with more punch from Exmoor, so this was rather disappointing.

Cask. A nut-brown beer with a thin tan head. The aroma has notes of malt and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and caramel as well as light notes of nuts, leading to a dry nutty finish.

Sampled cask conditioned. Nut brown. Fruity nose, medium body. Dry balanced finish with nice hop bitterness. This ale, in the borderlines between a strong bitter and a brown ale is malty, but perhaps overly complex.
