Cask@GBBF2010. Amber colour, small off-white head. Aroma is fruits, wooden, earthy and mildly toffeeish. Flavour is wooden, dry earthyness as well as some caramel malts. Not bad, just slightly boring...

Draught. Amber with slight head. Slight aroma of seaweed. Light body with very light carbonation. Flavours include seaweed and bread with very little bitterness. It’s OK, but not good.

Cask-conditioned at the Swan, Tockington Gloucs 20/5/08. Deep amber coloured with a moderate white head. A bit lightweight in both flavour and aroma, but this resulted in the beer being inoffensive rather than poor. Had less character than the Bristol version I used to drink a lot of, but the malty edge was decent enough. There are a lot worse bitters around.
