Pour is a cola brown with a small tan head. Aroma is molasses and earth. Flavor is super dry with some of the molasses in the aroma coming through. Some dark fruit is left after the swallow but nothing to save this one from the maybe category.

Cask, Flower Pot, Derby. Yellow gold colour, no head. Very fragrant hoppy aroma. Flavour was fruity and sweet and reminded me of natural yoghurt mixed with honey. Not a huge amount in the finish but quite interesting.

Cask at the SIBA bar at the GBBF 2008, hand pump. Golden colour, low head. Lovely aroma of tropical fruits and flowers. The flavour has tropical fruits and grapefruit throughout, convincingly hopped but not too bitter. The aftertaste is quite bitter though.
