500ml bottle from the Jolly Vintner, Tiverton. Drank while doing a BBQ in my back garden on Saturday 17th May 2025. Good looking beer, deep amber body, clean and clear, beige head that hung around. Woody, nutty and earthy with a slight fruity undertone, decent honest Bitter all round. More malty than hoppy.

(Cask at Lyric, Soho, London, 28 Nov 2022) Mahogany colour with creamy, tan head. Malty, slightly roasted nose with chocolate, caramel and nuts. Malty, slightly roasted taste with notes of nuts, chocolate, dark bread, prunes and a balanced earthy bitterness. Medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Tasty and well balanced bitter. Nice one.

Cask at Black Horse, New Haw. Copper gold. Low key floral aroma. Creamy white head. medium bitter with a sweet fruity streak. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Flat. Abrupt carbonation. Wasn't expecting much but slipped down well. Unfortunately it had just gone off when I asked for another.

[Cask at the Bell, Waltham St Lawrence.] A chestnut coloured pour with a scummy looking head; malty aroma; sweet earthy malt taste; with some caramel and vanilla and a wood finish. A comforting old style bitter.
