Bottle that was passed on rather generously by a resident of Foscot, Oxon and consumed 14-03-10 Pours dark reddy brown, great clarity. Not getting the Cascade hops on the nose but their is a touch of burnt toffee. Taste is simple but fine, some toffee flavour’s pulse through a lengthy but quite restrained bitterness, touch of the boiled sweets about this, would probably be really quite decent on draught but in bottle struggle to display itself quite as it should. Its ok. A6 A4 F5 P3 Ov11 2.9

330ml bottle from Hampers Food & Wine, Woodstock] Pours deep amber with a slightly dirty looking foamy off-white head. Moderate carbonation, but not too intrusive by lager standards. Smells of dusty chocolate. Initial flavour of chocolate develops through autumn leaves into bitterness with slight metallics. Quite a short finish. Overall an OK beer, but not one I’d especially return to.
