50cl bottle from Alfred the Grape, Marlow. Reddish copper with a fast fading white head, and lots of carbonation to start; nutty, earthy, aroma; soft in the mouth, with some red fruit and a woody bitterness; before a dry finish. Mellow, and very drinkable.

Cask at the Sussex Arms, Twickenham Green - 15/12/12. Lightly hazed dark amber with a thin off white head that retains as a small film and largely at the edge of the glass. Nose is caramel, dark fruits, vanilla, toffee fudge. Taste follows, a touch more fruity than the nose. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, bitter sweet finish. A most decent bitter.
