Bottle from my sister and drunk at home. Clear deep brown colour lasting beige head. Brown malt aroma. It's a tasty brown malt malty bitter. Some bitterness on the finish. Decent best bitter. OK.

Not really interesting. Plain ordinary cask bitter Almost clear nutty pour and a fine tick tan head. Solid lacing Moderate intensity in the aroma Mellow sweetness and a low bitterness Soft carbonation level Caramel malt, mild fruity and herbal flavor [Cask at Castle Inn in Sandown (Isle of Wight), England]

Bottle from Cider Barn, Godshill. Aroma is sweet - combining bread and caramel. Clear chestnut brown. Foamy fluffy white head. Light-medium sour berries throughout. Underlying grainy bitterness. There's a sweet chocolate nougat playfulness which is also there for the duration. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Flat-average carbonation. Long slightly astringent finish. Pleasant.
