Cask at the White Horse, Hedgerely, Bucks (August bank holiday mini beer festival). A golden coloured pour with a small white head on top. Decent hoppy, malty aroma. Tastes quite bitter, dry, tangy, hoppy, citrus fruit. Quite a lingering bitterness. Pretty good but a little too bitter for me.

Bottle consumed with Gazza and my dad 01.09.11, cheers Gazza for bringing this along This has a lovely warmth that you notice straight away, very indulgent beer. It pours very, very dark brown peeling away to a lighter brown at the edges with a thin rim of beige. Crikey this dangerously drinkable, some sweet liqourice, light creamy cappuccino, its really, really smooth and despite having a few months on this its aged incredibly well indeed. Loved this and another belter in a bottle! However it didn’t quite topple the CTZ from the top spot tonight. A8 A4 T8 P4 Ov16 4.0
