Tawny ale, named after “Owde Barry Legg” who sadly passed away the Christmas before last. A local legend in the Cerne Valley. Jester is the predominant hop in this beer. Jester has been bred in captivity in the “hopshires” of England under the watchful eye of Will Rogers and the British Hop breeding programme.

Bottle bought at Vine Yard, Swanage. Fruity aroma with some coffee bitterness. Opaque chestnut brown. Thin frothy off-white head. Light-medium juicy berry sourness. Underlying creamy sweetness. Gains a politely low key coffee-liqourice bitterness as it warms up and this then dominates. Medium bodied. Average carbonation. Long slightly astringent finish. Decent characterful mild. BTW - this beer is named after a local Cerne Abbas blacksmith so not sure of a previeas rater has got confused whetheyey refer to Sabretooth Tiger Tom, whiever that was (I googled and found nought).

Cask-conditioned on gravity, at Weymouth Octoberfest as ’Tiger Tom Curtis’. Amber in colour, with a slight, off-white, head. Sweetish mild, with some bready malts, berry fruits and a slightly nutty edge, before a gentle finish.

Cask at GBBF 2016. It pours clear deep brown with a medium white head. The aroma is sticky, woody, grainy, musty, sulphurous fart and egg sandwich. The taste is sweet, sticky, bitter wood, very eggy indeed, sulphur, old egg sandwich and some leather. Finish is eggy. Medium body and fine carbonation. Not good at all, unless you are looking for an egg-forward mild ale.
