17th Feb 2012: The Cock Hotel, Wellington Shropshire. Hand pulled pint. Amber body with a cream coloured head that stayed the distance. Mixed aroma and taste: blended combination of hops, yeast and malts; just like a beer should I suppose. Each flavour seemed to have equal billing and this made the beer a bit underwhelming at first. I then found a nutty, woody content which I latched onto: this helped me enjoy the beer more as I concentrated on the slightly different tastes I’d found. Valentines Day beer it may be but my wife would have turned her nose up at it.

Amber, clear body. off-white rocky head, fully diminishing, fairly lacing. Hoppy and yeasty (spicy) flavour. Ligtly bitter initial flavour, moderately bitter finish. Long finish.
