Cask at Crown Hotel, Nantwich. Pours a dark chestnut with a small foamy off-white head. Bitterness and hops are prevalent in the aroma, pus a hint of honey. Bitterness continues in the mouth but with a little underlying sweetness. Flavour is chiefly traditional hops plus traces of nuts, pepper, caramel and (later) oranges. Finish is quite dry. This is reasonable.

500ml bottle from Middle Farm, Firle. Poured a clear medium amber colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head and a few bubbles. The aroma is caramel, woody hops. The flavour is moderate bitter, light sweet, with a smooth, nutty, light pepper hop spice, light toffee caramel, woody hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.
