Cask at the Wharf, Aalborg, DK. Clear golden beer with a small, bubbly and off-white head. No carbonation. The aroma is fruity, with bitter pines. Grapefruit, hops and malt-sweetness in the flavor, is finished off by a long, dry and bitter finish. Mellow mouthfeel. (060506)

Cask handpull at Folkestone Wetherspoon’s. Copper colour, disappearing bubbly beige head. Some red berry malt fruit aroma. Bit thin in mouth. Not much of a finish. Faint hop. Fine, nothing wrong, just lacks flavour

Cask. Dark chestnut colour. Large, big-bubbled, stable head. Very malty flavour, but also quite sour. The flavour also has some fruitiness, but the sourness and bitterness overpower ir. Very roasted aftertaste with barley bitterness.

Bottle from Morrisons Aylesbury 20-04-06 Nice dark reddy brown colour with a pleasant malty aroma. Initial taste is that of cocoa powder slowly melting on your tongue and then more malty and smoother roasted flavours begining to show. First time that I have had this in a bottle for some time and despite my reservations I was mightily impressed,. very good.

Bottle from Morrisons Aylesbury. Dark golden in colour with medium white head, Very bitter and quite hoppy and as such I am not entirely sure that I agree with the commercial description of ’delicate flavour’, some fruitiness in there as well, not bad at all.
