[i] Cask at the The Three Fishes, Shrewsbury, Salop, 19-10-07 [/i] Poured deep dark brown with a red hue and a thin white head. Malty and fruity aroma. The taste had a nice deep bitter maltiness about it but it was quite loose and allowed a level of citrussy hops to squeeze through, this was an unashamedly bitter and fruity beer that on the label had said that it’d one a medal at SIBA awards in the Mild and Old Ale category, I don’t think it was either of them nor did I feel that it was a porter, to me this was a bitter, whatever it is, it was very nice.

50 cL bottle, thanks to yngwie for trading this and putting it on Papsøs table. Pours hazy orange with a lacing light orange head. Sweet malty a bit of fruity hops in the aroma. Starts caramel malty, not as sweet as expected. Reveals some fruityness that goes into a rather herbal bitterness in the finish. Somewhat strange and undefineable.
