Cask. White Horse, Brancaster Staithe, Norfolk. Deep copper colour. Thin lasting beige foam. Nose has vine fruit and nutty sweet malt. Taste follows suit, with a bit of tang. Very light bitterness. Smooth with fine carbonation. Twangy bitterness to finish.

Panda, thanks to SHIG, split at the Grand Reunion Tasting, Watford 02/10/20. Chestnut brown with a decent beige cap that dissipates edgeward. Nose is fruit esters, brown bread, hint of strawberry pips, grains. Taste comprises brown bread, nutty tinge, fruit rinds, dark malts. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Decent for the style.

26/9/2020. Bottle shared with SHIG, bought at Real Ale Shop, Wells. Pours clear dark amber/copper with a small bubbly off-white head. Aroma of malt, toffee, dried fruits and stewed fruits. Moderate sweetness and bitterness with a touch of tart. Moderate body, slight oily texture, average carbonation. Berries and prunes to finish. Interesting and quite enjoyable.

500ml bottle [Thanks Grumbo for restoring the "sunken" Potemkin by an intact wreck!]. Minimally milky, copper-ish brown colour with small to average, creamy, half-way lasting, moderately lacing, off-white head. Fruity hoppy and toasty, nutty malty aroma, notes of red and blue berries, hints of Brazil nut, even a touch of coconut. Taste is slightly dry, fruity hoppy and toasty malty, notes of blue and red berries, a cautious earthy-spicy touch of corresponding shrubs, nutty malty background with subtle sweetness.
