Cask gravity at White Cliffs BF 2007. I had this many years ago at this festival and thought that it was fantastic at the time. This was less good. Black colour with dark brown edges. thin beige head. Stout/porter slightly sour aroma. Some very syrupy intense malt. Goodish juicy finish. Some good bitterness on finish. I rather like it. NIce lingering finish, but not the in your face brilliance that I remembered.

Typical English ale, beautiful amber colour but very poor head. Yeast aroma, flowery, some very nice hop, but hidden. Tastes like light apple cider, not really balanced, not enough body. Peculiar, tha apple in the finish, but not enough character, poor palate.
