RBESG08 grand tasting. Yes, it’s a bit gingery. Not a great stout. A bit warm by the time I got to it. Gingery/spicy and not great. 2.5/5 Re-rate Cask gravity at Pigs Ear 2008. Black colour with no real head. OK thickish stout. Its quite tasty, good Ossett beer, nice oilyness. Good depth of flavour, nice grain.

Bottled at RBESG. Mahognay colour, small head. Aroma of molasses and caramel. Medium sweet with clean rounded mouthfeel. A bit salty, xome apples to go with all the molasses. Short finish with mild caramel but low bitterness.

[i] [b] Cask at The Cross Keys, Pangbourne, leg 5 of the Thames Tipple (Goring to Wargrave) 14-06-08 [/i] [/b] Almost straw coloured beer with a thin white head of bubbles. Some sweet malts and hops on the nose, but also a little citruss gives you an indication of where this might head. The hops hit you straight away in the mouth quite citrussy, but then they subside, quite bitter at times but also juicy and fruity, ferociously dry at the end, I liked this (Loz loved it) but for me this could have been done just a little more subtley and it would have been a much beet beer.

Cask at the Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell. Pale straw with a thin white head; citrus aroma; simple citrus flavour with an underlying bready dough body; puch bitter finish, and an aftertaste of powdered ginger. Strange.

Cask cellar run at Ship & Mitre BF, Liverpool. Pale gold with no head. Rose petal hop aroma. OK in mouth, decent grapefruit, rose petal hop finish. Some sherbert. Hmm. That’s nice and could get better. Hop is promising.
