440ml can (yes, I know this is the cask version rating page, but it's 4.2% ABV and obviously the same beer in principle. BBE November 2024, from Beers of Europe. Drank at home on 21st September 2024 during a mini-tasting-session with myself while Margie was out with friends. Poured robustly into a UK vase shaped pint glass. Slight misty body, deep amber in colour, off-white foam on top. Malty feel with a decent hop bitterness, woody, earthy and a bit of a throw back to traditional English Bitters. Liked it.

Handpull cask at the Sheffield Tap. Light brown and clear-ish with a small film of beige head. Woody, astringent aroma with bitter fruit. Tastes bittersweet, very astrigent, almost turpentiney. Orange and kumquat peel on the finish. Weird and not very good really.
