Cask at the Hop Pole, Aylesbury, Bucks, 09-01-08. Pours mid amber with a white head. Good hoppy nose, tasty with a good fruity tang. There is a lovely raspy bitterness that you only seem to get with a British bitter. Really nice beer, I’m surprised at the lowish ratings. A7 A4 F7 P3 OV15 3.6

Gravity dispense at Pig’s Ear Festival 2008, London
Dark brown color. Aroma of barley coffee (available in Italy, for example) quite nice. It has a chocolatey flavor and some caramel, quite simple.
