Bottle from Woodhorn Museum. Appearance - amber brown with a decent head. Nose - bran flakes, honeycomb. Taste - caramel and brown bread. A hint of something citrus and cleansing towards the end. Palate - light to medium bodied. Creamy and crunchy in texture. Overall - good example of the style. Not sure I'd have guessed a champion beer of Britain.

500ml bottle, shared at home with MarcusM on 10th Oct 2015: the third beer in a random tasting evening. Pours a clear bronze hued amber with an off-white head. Aroma was caramel/molasses and roasted malts with a trace of nuts. Tasted as the nose suggested: roasted malts, caramel sweet, nutty. Add some dark berry flavours and a some mixed herbs and spices to the mouth feel and you get a very pleasant and tasty beer. Had this in cask form many years ago, can not really remember it’s characteristics from back then, so can not compare.

(Cask at Kitty’s, 20150417) The beer poured mahogany coloured and clear. Its head was small, almost white and it lasted long. Aroma had toasted malts, biscuits, molasses and earth. Palate was medium bodied with low carbonation. Flavours were toasted malts, earth, biscuits, nuts, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste had toasted dark bread and bitter. A very pleasant and nicely complex brew.

0,5 flaske innkjøpt av skibsreder Ovesen og delt med ham på Holmens aktivitetsdag: højt skum som varer til bunns. Nydelig ravfarge og floral aroma. Lett bitterhet i smak og fruktig ettersmak. Meget lettdrikkelig og en utmerket pøsebitter på pub, men hvorfor den ble kåret til Champion beer of Britain i 1999 skjønner jeg ikke helt, synes at den er litt i enkleste laget. Kanskje det er derfor den glir så ubesværet over ganen.
