Cask handful at Society Rooms Maidstone . Gold with slight haze. Lasting white head. Drank whilst listening to Bonny Tyler and is there a finer thing? Diacetyl and some earthyness. Some attic and although the condition is good i find the flavours unpalatable. Couldn’t finish a half and went back to the thornbridge brother rabbit.
