Gravity cask at the 2025 Rutland CAMRA Festival, the County Museum, Oakham. Usually I go through rates in the same pattern: appearance, aroma, taste, finish, texture, summation. I'm starting this one by saying that this is possibly one of the sweetest beers I've ever had from a proper brewery. I like my sweet beers but this is something else. It is tawny brown, mostly clear with a very loose and uneven off-white head. Aroma of sweet fruits, super-sweetened tea. Taste... well I must admit that the finish has some bitterness but that is after the crazy sugar hit. Notes of mango and papaya (coated in sugar, hollowed out and filled with sugar). It's a good beer in ways I guess but the sweetness made it impossible for me to rate it objectively.

Cask at the kings head. Stamford. Slightly hazy golden colour with a white head. Aroma and taste are malty citrus and bittersweet. Slight tropical mango to finish. Medium body.
