Hand-pulled pint in The Crown Inn, Oakengates on 24th Jan 2014. Looked good with a full head, semi-sweet malty nose with some fruit hints. Became less malty and more hoppy as the pint began to sink. Belies it’s alcohol strength by being both tasty and fairly full bodied. I would have been happy on a session of these.

Sampled cask conditioned at Oliver Twist, Stockholm.
Deep golden, lightly hazy. Butter toffee aroma. Fairly sweet with filling, rounded mouthfeel. Chewy, despite it's low gravity. Mild flavour of honey and caramel, and a finish with low bitterness. Very British...
