Cask condition handpull at The County Hotel, JDW, Ashford. Odd that I’ve not this before. Copper orange colour clear, with off white head. Fudge and softness are my 2 biggest impressions of this beer. Not diacetyl, but definite fudge/toffee aroma and flavour. Very soft in mouth and not much hop presence. It’s a decent bitter/ale as it’s not very bitter. Good sweetish fudge malts. Fine with a sweetish finish.

Cask-conditioned at the Market Porter, Southwark 06/10/09. An inoffensive bitter, with a decent balance between the sweetish malts and bittering hops. Ok.
