A full-bodied sweet, malty brew. Darker in colour than your classic bitter. This beer has been brewed in and around Portsmouth for over 50 years.

Bottle ordered from Twisted Crow, Basingstoke. Aroma is malty, woody, a berry edge. Murky dark brown. Thin bubbly head barely sticks to half the rim. May have been a poor pour due to one of the cats taking an interest. Medium bitter, with a sour edge. Woody, very tart berries. Underlying sweet malts. Light-medium bodied. Slick verging on creamy. Flat-soft carbonation. Long astringent finish. A flavoursome and certainly bitter Bitter.

Cask, half-pint shared with Finn at Company Inn (JDW). Near-clear copper coloured body. Bubbles at the surface. spotty lacing. Caramel and dried fruity aromas. Brown malty taste mingled with plums and bread. Satisfying bittersweet tail. Okay Brit bitter (Nottingham 20.02.2016).

Fra fat på Company Inn i Nottingham 20 Feb 16. Delt med Rune. Gylden. Lavt, lett farget luftig skum. Beskjeden nøttearoma. Smaken tørket frukt. Bare det. Kanskje hint av nøtter i avslutninga.

Cask @ Moon Under Water, Manchester. Deeper amber coloured with a small head. Seems to have a strength, but also a general crispness with a low bitterness.
