Draught at Haymarket. Pours a shiney copper colour with a decent head and very gentle bubbles. The nose has not much, there’s a hint of malt and hazelnut if you perservere. The taste is hazelnuts from start to finish as well as some bitter herbiness (perhaps parsley) kicking in towards the end. The palate is medium bodied and textured but there is a malt overhang on the end, rather than a clean hoppy finish. Overall, as Blackadder says about Baldrick’s poem ’’it didn’t start so well, it had a bit of a dodgey patch in the middle and it tailed off at the end’’.

Cask at The Old Thameside Inn in Southwark. Pours dark amber with a creamy near-white head. A rather heavy fruit aroma. Near med body. It’s fruity - medium ripe light stone fruits. It’s barely bitter, but bitter enough to overcome the malt and fruit in the end. Very nice.
