Cask, gravity at Merton Winter Beer Festival 6th and 7th Feb 2009 Pours golden with a white head, aroma is hoppy and a with citric note and there is also a celery aroma coming off of this. Flavour quite hoppy plenty of really juicy fruitiness but this is really, really dry and bitter. The bitterness on this hangs around for an age. I enjoyed this beer and came back for tasters a few times last night. A6 A4 F7 P4 OV15 3.6

Cask, at the Hop Pole, Aylesbury, Bucks, 20-01-09 Pours a dark brown almost mahogany colour but with some glints of red in there and with an off white creamy head. The aroma is Tate and Lyle black treacle and Riga’s black Balsam (interesting combinantion) In the mouth is dark muscovado sugars, a nice maltiness and even some liquorice. It has to be noted that the Riga’s Black Balsam and black treacle also get a look in, there is a real furriness at the roof of the mouth with this as well which I quite liked. I found this quite challenging (but in a really good way) and a most enjoyable beer. To be honest I wasn’t 100% certain on the style so I’m happyif someone wishes to change this. A7 A4 F7 P4 OV15 3.7

Cask gravity at Pigs Ear 2008. Gold colour with slight haze, no head. Slightly yeasty. Its ok, a bit run of the mill bitter. Decent flavours. Good lime citrus finish.
