Cask, handpump at The Kings Head, Aylesbury, Bucks 14.09.11 Pours amber, good clarity with a white head. Nice beer, bitterness was more pronounced than expected and this didn’t carry quite the sweetness that I anticipated, other than that I was in a rush, so very lazy review. However a nice beer.

330ml Bottle - Brown with some red tinges. Blackcurrant, dried fruit and malt in the aroma. Roasted, chocolatey and slightly sweet taste with notes of roasted malt and coffee. Almost a year out of date, but it’s still drinking well.

Bottle at home in London. Pours brown with a foamy, light tan head. Aroma is light cocoa, semi-dark malts and faint berries. Medium sweet flavor, some dark malts, mild roast, hints of alcohol. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Mostly sweet finish, light earthy bitterness, subtle roast. Very average overall.

Bottle bought at the Royal Farm Shop in Windsor, Berks 18 months ago, BBE 4/9/10 on the label. A dark brown/ruby red coloured pour with a large beige head on top. Fruity, caramel aroma. Tastes of dark fruit, malty, caramel, spice, quite sweet, a hint of rum. Love the bottle and the beer inside is quite good too.

Cask at GBBF 2010. A golden beer with a beige head. The aroma has notes of citrus fruits and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of citrusy hops on a malty background, leading to a dry and bitter finish.

On cask, gravity at Banbury Beer Festival, 07.05.11 Golden in colour this is just a simple refreshing session bitter, the sort of thing that Chiltern excel at. Touch biscuity at times with a hint of vanilla in the background, its smooth, lightly fruity and very decent. A6 A4 T7 P4 Ov12 3.3
