Cask, Egremont Ferry, Wallasey. Darkish copper colour with a lingering creamy off white head. Nondescript slightly malty aroma. Flavour showed some hop and fruit to balance the prevailing maltiness. Pretty average bitter on the whole.

A nice, fragile white head rests upon a shining mahogany body. Malt-fruity aroma. Flavoured by dark and dried bittersweet fruit added by dark berries. Mild, dry bitter finish (Cask at GBBF, 07.08.2008).
