Cask at Prince of Wales, Farnborough. 25/08/16. Torn over this beer. Pretty much zero aroma. In terms of taste/palate it’s extremely soft and sweet, but picking up very little. It is copper and has a healthy off-white head. I suppose it’s harmless - could knock back a few but not really notice.

Cask at Prince of Wales, Farnborough. 21/06/16. Vague earthy aroma. Dark and deep looking but not much to the beige head. Smooth with a slight bitter edge to the dark chocolate taste. A nice old school pint.

Bottle at Hix Mayfair. It pours clear amber with a decent foamy white head. The aroma is fairly restrained malty action, bread, biscuit and some sweetish caramel/toffee. The taste is crisp, light bitterness, earth, bread, sweet malt backbone, caramel and dried fruits with a dryish finish. Light - medium body and fine carbonation. A fairly restrained malty bitter, but it does go pretty well with food. Fair, but nowhere near as good as the Hix Oyster Ale.

Bottle at Hix Mayfair. It pours deep brown - black with a thick, foamy beige head. The aroma is bitter - sweet, roasted malt, treacle, salty, savoury vibe and dark fruits. The taste is pretty sweet and juicy upfront, dark fruits, jam, treacle, roasted malt, cocoa, light alcohol and salted seawater action with a smooth finish. Medium body and fine, foamy carbonation. Really pretty flavoursome and well-put together. Good example of the style.
