smooth, nutty and flat. what i look for in an english bitter. this one has a great medium-heavy body. The hop taste is just gravy. had this one on draught though. probably why i liked it so much.

Beautifully dark amber appearance. Nutty aroma. Crisp, nice maltiness. Rather light bodied. Fruity early sweetness, but dry bitter finish. Very english and really tasty.

Tasted it cask-conditioned, but i believe it had lost a bit during transportation - it appeared nicely balanced though.
