Cask at the Wandsworth Common Spring BF, London. Pours clear, red-gold with a fine, foamy head. Light caramel, smokey peat and ham in the nose. Light to medium sweet flavor with cured honey ham, smoked peat, wood. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Lasting smokey peat on the finish with yet more cured ham, light honey and caramel. Very nice beer. One of the better British-made ’smoked’ beers I’ve had.

500ml Bottle - Copper with a slight haze. Slightly tart, musty and fruity aroma with hints of dried fruit, caramel and malt. Fruity and tart (intentional?) taste with raisins and caramel standing out. There is definitely a slight sour hint to the beer and whilst it’s drinkable, I am not sure if the sour hint is intended or not.

Bottle from Bellingers, Jet Garage, Grove Nr Wantage, Oxon, purchased & consumed 06-04-10 Pours brown in colour, aroma is touch sour. The taste is also a little sour not desperatly so but I also think not intentionally so, some fruitiness but to be honest after a few slurps this had to go, its not undrinkable but then its not pleasant to drink either. Shame really as the last Little Valley beer I had ’Python IPA’ was very good. A4 A3 F3 P1 Ov7 1.8
