GBBF. Cask. Opaque brown beer, little tan head. Smooth palate. A little chocolate, marmite and minerals. Alright - still struggling with my palate after that bloody Stone Chipolte Porter!

GBBF. Also drank on the 3rd. Hazy amber beer with a little white head. Light dry palate. Nice caramel malt backbone. Floral hops with an interesting streak of pineapple. Whisper of tangerine. Finishes light and dry and with some grapefruit and orange marmalade bitterness. Bitter aftertaste. An interesting and tasty beer.

Cask at GBBF, 2011. Black pour with a tan head. Coffee, dark chocolate and black treacle aroma. Quite dry. Light coffee flavour oddly with a strange strawberry like quality on the palate (can’t be right?). (Rubs chin) very interesting.
