July 2009: Brown 500ml bottle (Davenports): with a years life left according to the best before date. Poured into a standard UK pint glass. Light brown, amber colour, clear and clean looking, no head, just a thin collar and a poor attempt at a wispy covering. Sweet candy aroma, strange for a UK bitter, no hops, malts or yeast in the smell at all? The rear label claimed it contained Malted Barley, a blend of Pale, Crystal and Amber, supplemented with Torrefied Wheat. Fuggles, Progress and Styrian Golding Hops. Well all I can say is; there isn’t much of any of them in the taste or aroma. There is a sweet and fruity feel to the brew, not unpleasant, just not what I was expecting from an English Bitter. The 4.3ABV is just about findable and to be fair it is easy to drink and agreeable to my palate. Difficult to score objectively, but overall not bad at all.

Light, malty flavour. Nice balance of sweet and bitter. Nice texture, not too thin.

Cask (Hedge End Club, Hedge End) - Brown in colour. Fruity aroma with raisins, caramel and nuts. Hoppy and fruity taste with notes of dried fruit and toffee.

Bottle, thanks oh6gdx! Hazy pale nut brown, rich creamy head. Caramelly and papry upfront. Sweet and fruity, bland and toffeeish with marzipan forming a sorry little body. Finishes with mustard seeds and slight resin.

Bottled. Amber colour with mediumsized beige foamy head,that leaves nice lace. Aroma is wooden, caramelly and slightly nutty. Flavour is big time licorice along with toffee, caramel malts and some woodenness. Wood and licorice in the finish along with some minor notes of smoke.

Bottled (BB 09/2008)
Amber color, steady creamy beige head. Nutty hoppy nose with notes of toffee and licorice. Nutty, toffee malty flavor. Reasonably strong malt profile for 4,0 % beer. Woody hoppy finish with hints of licorice. Not really exiting, although drinkable session brew.

500ml bottle. Strong, sickly, malty aroma; cloudy chestnut pour with a cream head; stewed malty flavour with a very metallic bitter finish. Definitely a drain pour.
