Cask at Bishops Stortford Beer Festival 2010. A hazy dark amber beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of alcohol, caramel, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, honey, and sulphur, leading to a dry and lightly bitter finish. I find it boring.

Cask-conditioned at the Seven Stars, Bristol 3/11/10. Deep gold in colour with no head. Light aroma of citrus fruit and sweet malts with some grassy hop. Flavour was sweetish, with more fruit and a moderately bitter finish. Ok.
