(Bottle, Monk’s Café, Stockholm) Dark ruby red colour with frothy off-white head. Malty, nutty nose with caramel, dark fruit and hints of chocolate. Malty, nutty taste with chocolate, caramel, dark fruit and notes of earthy hops in a rather dry finish. Well balanced and nice, but lacking an extra dimension.

Cask handpull at County Hotel, JDW, Ashford. Light, pale bitter. It’s got some nice floral hop on finish. Fine, some rose petal, some good syrupy citrus fruits and tangerine

Cask at GBBF 2006. A hazy orange beer with an off-white head. The aroma is sweet malty with light notes of caramel, and the flavor is sweet malty with light hoppy notes, leading to a dry end. Boring.

Can. Not a world class beer, but a nice break from the pale Spanish lagers. It’s a clear, deep golden beer with a dense, off-white head leaving nice lacings. Bread, caramel, roasted notes and hints of butterscotch and some metal in the aroma. The flavor has breadcrusts, caramel, notes of metal and butterscotch. Medium, creamy mouthfeel. It’s quite pleasant, but a bit too metallic. (070210)
