On cask @ Ship Inn, Cheser.Pours dark amber with a good head. Nose of malt and bitterness and a hint PF dried fruit. Taste of more of the same Palate medium body and medium weight in the textyre with an astringent finish. Overall, not worth a revisit.

Cask. A nut brown to amber colour with small off-white head. Aroma and flavour are both quite standard bittery by all means. Clean and nothing all too exciting.

(Cask at Bree Louise, Euston, London, 16 Apr 2009) Pale amber colour with frothy, white head. Malty, nutty nose with notes of butter, toffee, bread and hints of sulphur. Malty, nutty taste with butterscotch, butter and dusty hops. Fairly low bitterness, thin body. Not sure about the shape of this one, probably worth a new try.
