Cask, handpump at The Penny Black, JDW, Bicester, Oxon, 04-09-09 Pours more amber than a silvery gold colour that I was expecting, white bubbly head sits atop. Both the aroma and flavours are quite rustic and earthy, a little old fashioned and nothing like I was anticipating. There is a reasonable bitterness, its a touch dry, bit of chewy caramel, its ok.
