Cask at GBBF 2007. An amber beer with no head. The aroma is sweet with notes of phenol and brown sugar. The flavor is sweet malty with light notes of phenol and medium notes of brown sugar hitting a bit later, leading to a dry bitter and phenolic finish.

[i] Cask at the Talbot, Swinford Toll bridge, Enysham, Oxon, 03-11-07 leg three of the Thames Tipple.[/i] Dark amber with a small white head, poured far too cold unfortunately so aroma difficult to detect initially. Malty and quite sweet but reasonable fruitiness as well, not great but makes a change from the sea of GK beers on offer today.
