Cask at Peterborough Beer Fest. Straw colour. Evidently grassy nose. Very dry with light buttery malm. A, well made, slimmed very drinkable session beer with a bitterish grassy finish.

[i]Cask but bottled from the Penbury Tavern for me, ’very kindly may I add’ by Casey aka Doppelganger, Thanks [/i] Poured pretty much black there was only the tiniest rim of bubbles from my pouring on the surface. Aroma was roasty and with a streaky bitterness wafting through as well. The taste was initially a touch sour but this soon faded to reveal bitter chocolate, vanilla, even a rogue liquorice allsort was dancing across my tastebuds, as it warmed more chocolate and roasted bitterness coursed through the mouth. A great beer which despite being bottled and kept perfectly for a few weeks by Casey was still in remarkably good condition. [i] [b] Cask, gravity at Merton Winter Beer Festival Feb 08 [/i] [/b] Had this for the second time and probably somewhat fresher than last time. Poured black no head, less of an oily texture that the Old Chimneys, liqourice and a back of the mouth bitterness, quite drying also, some cold coffee, I really liked this again but the score remains the same [b] 4 [/b]

Cask handpull at Pembury Tavern. Orangey gold with lasting off white head. Orangey/tangeriney throughout. Very tangerine/satsuma, strong in alcohol compared with most bitters, good condition, good in mouth, drinkable and likeable. Modest hop on end. A bit like sucking on a square of Robertson’s tangerine jelly.

Cask at Merton Summer Beer Festival 06-07-07 This was another one that I tried prior to the festival but also got to taste once or twice thereafter. Poured black without much of a head. This tasted a bit like putting one’s finger into a jar of cocoa (but very dark bitter cocoa) there was some creaminess there but it was very much held back, it finished off in a nice roasty dry fashion. Maybe it was me but unusually I just didn’t get on with many of the dark beers this weekend and felt that I’ve short changed them a bit with my ratings, I will try again and hopefully will rate this in a better light.
