10/5/2018. Cask at the Split Chimp, Newcastle. Curiously a beer with 10 ratings over the last 12 years, many quite unfavourable. Seems to have improved with time. Pours amber brown with a lasting creamy just off-white head. Aroma of hop, biscuit, malt, caramel, fruit and flowers. Moderate sweetness and medium bitterness. Moderate body, slight oily texture, soft carbonation. Not spectacular but a decent and very respectable bitter.

Cask at the Sussex Arms, Twickenham Green, 12/01/13. Hazed reddish brown with a good sized off white head. Nose is pretty bland, cardboard and paper, pale malt, light sugars, trace of fruit. Taste holds a little more depth, caramel, toffee, little grass. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation and some dry bitterness in the finish. Not one to revisit !
