Cask conditioned at The Three Judges, Glasgow. Reddish brown colour. Nice malty aroma with toffee notes. Malty flavour with plenty of caramel / toffee, but also a noticeable presence of hops.

Cask gravity at Planet Thanet BF 2007. Quite malty, nice British hops. Decent bitter, some biscuit. Standard bitter. 3/5 Re-rate Cask handpull at Market Porter, London. A very brown best bitter, with dry malt tones, the kinda best bitter that’s hard to find these days due to the propensity for UK breweries to produce Brewers Gold/Hophead/JHB clones. Some dry mlat/golden syrup/malt loaf, but not heavy either. A best bitter.
