Flaska från SB. Klar mörkt bärnstensfärgad vätska med lågt krämigt skum. Doft och smak av nötter, säd, mjöligt bröd, pepprig tåg, gräs och distinkt maskrosbeska. Välgjord klassisk best bitter. Gott

Lockdown take-out cask from the Southampton Arms, London on 27th May 2020. Dark copper with virtually no foam or lace. Caramel malt aroma. Very malty in-mouth with hints of hazelnut, and a bitter finish. Slightly flat mouthfeel and a light body.

Tap@BA Bellmansgatan Sthlm. Mörkt bärnstensfärgad vätska med fingerhögt äggskalsfärgat skum. Brödig arom med lätt blommig antydan. Maltig i smaken med skjuts av aska. Mjuk och gräddig munkänsla. Obefintlig eftersmak.
