Cask at the GBBF 2008. Black colour, reddish brown in the highlights. Lovely complex aroma, roasted malts, oak, dark fruits, chocolate and liquorice. Nicely balanced flavour between the malts and hops, there is an assertive bitterness but it is not overdone.

Cask, gravity dispense at Merton Summer Beer Festival July 18th and 19th 2008 Poured clear golden with a nice bubbly white head. Some honey on nose but it is more apparent in the mouth which unfortunately adds to the sweetness. Lacks that hoppy crispness that is found in a lot of other Castle Rock pale beers and for once Castle Rock are decidely average with a golden beer, its ok but nowt special.
