Cask at The Harp, London, as The Fat Cat Honey Ale. Deep golden to amber colour, moderate white head. Moderate aroma of honey, hints of toffee. The flavour has moderate notes of honey, but is not too sweet. Smooth to drink, with a decent hoppy bitterness in the finish.

Hazy amber beer. Thick frothy head. Rich deep hoppy beer for England! (But doesn’t match US versions for hops and weight!). A little spice in the dry finish. Soft and frothy palate.

Mild hoppy ale. Not noticed any honey but it may be offsetting the hops. An okay beer.

Bottle from Pig’s Ear festival in December ’08, anyway the bottle reports bb October ’08
The bottle is a slow gusher; it pours a hazy amber color with huge head, quite solid and persistent. The aroma is a bit malty, hoppy, and with some chemicals, metallic, that can be explained with the extra fermentation. Correct body strength, it has just a metallic caramel flavor, high bitterness and some vegetables. This beer would not have lasted the trip to India...

5th December 2008. Dark red brown beer - clear - just. Small suddy head. Smooth stout - more porter like really. A little sweet. The port is subtle and adds a small fruity note. Semi dry bittering finish.

Cask at the Cask Pub & Kitchen, London on Friday 13th November 2009. Amber with creamy head of off-white foam giving mainly upper-glass lacing. Malt clearly the main agent in this ale, and aromas include mace and nutmeg. A few hoppy notes are apparent before a medium duration bittersweet finish on a slightly creamy mouthfeel. Very well-kept by the pub.
