Bottle bought in West Bay, Dorset. Golden coloured with slight carbonation. Sweetish apple juice aroma, with a hint of the barnyard. Flavour of sweet fruit, getting slightly drier in the finish. Ok, but a bit lacking in distinctiveness.

Bottle at London Gathering Nov 05. For me, one of the drinks of the Gathering. But I have a feeling that only Silk and I will agree on that. Beautiful deep copper colour with no head. Lovely nutty honey, nougat aroma. Really good buttery caramel in mouth, with a touch of herb. Sweet in mouth with more nuts and toffee/butter. Could have curled up with the rest of the bottle and an open fire and got sozzled.
