On gravity at Bristol Beer festival, 19/03/10. Aroma of caramel, marmalade and citrus hops. Flavour of sweet malts, nuts, and more citrus hops, with a dry finish. Good.

Red-amber body, off-white foamy head, no discernible aroma, bitter hoppy finish, metallic taste left in the palate. Not one of my favourite beers.

Cask gravity at Kent BF 08. It’s a pretty fruity bitter, bit like a shandy on the carbonation. Bit of yeast, sulphur. some dry malt towards the end. Bit of spicy ginger. It’s an ok bitter.

Tap, Bow Bar, Edinburgh. Clear light brown color, short head. Aroma of chocolat, bit sharp. Malty taste, chocolat, bitter, bit dry, quite strong/sharp sense. I prefer chocolat like beers to be a bit more creamy.
