Cask, handpump at The Hop Pole, Aylesbury, Bucks, 04.10.10 Pours black with a creamy off-white head. The taste is less hoppy than I expected but it does indeed finish a little hoppy and bitter. In truth it’s a fairly standard but likeable Mild, some dark fruits and chocolate & burnt malts. It’s a bit thin on the palate, served a touch on the warm side. Its ok. A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov12 3.1
