(Bottle 27,5 cl) Comes as "Hogs Back Wobble in a Bottle". Pours a hazy, dark amber with an off-white head. Fruity, sweetish nose. Rather full-bodied - a bit flat - very pleasant fruity accents - peach? Hoppy finish. Quite pleasant. 120207

Well kept pint served at the right temperature from the hand pumps at Pakenham Arms, Clerkenwell. Dark amber coloured body under a thin white layer that left slight lacing on the glass. Dark, burnt malts in aroma. Mixture of malts in flavour with the weight on the caramel side. Rounded, bitter finish (31.01.2007).
