[500ml bottle from Samphire, Blickling Hall, Norfolk] Pours brown - completely lifeless with no head. Gorgeous chocolate aroma. Salty overcooked cabbage in the flavour - presumably from the samphire. Some tar and cough mixture, but the chocolate just about wins through. Unusual, and could be good, but agree with previous comments about poor condition.

Cask at GBBF 2009. Lemony/hoppy pretty good. Nice lemon curd flavour in the mouth. Decent hop on the finish too. APA? Not sure, but a decent golden ale.

(Cask at Wenlock Arms, London, 8 Aug 2009) Reddish brown colour with frothy, beige head. Malty nose with notes of dark bread and dark fruit. A bit closed. Malty, nutty taste with dried fruit and some dusty hops in the finish. Slightly below medium body, fairly dry. Decent but hardly exciting.
