Bottle: Clear, amber colored, small, quite stable off-white head; fruity-malty nose with a big touch of herbal hops; mild to moderate bitter-sweet flavour, light bodied; delicate sweetish-malty finish with a hoppy touch in the aftertaste. Not a real bomber...........

(Cask at Pillars of Hercules, Soho, London 29 Apr) Dark reddish brown colour with brief off-white head. Malty, nutty nose with dark fruit and hints of dusty hops. Malty, nutty taste with notes of chocolate, dark fruit, prunes and balanced notes of dusty hops in a fairly sweet finish. Emphasis on the malt. Enjoyable.
