Cask gravity at Nottingham BF 2007. Gold with thin off white head. Decent condition. Slightly citrusy bitter. Goodish orangey fruits, good sting on the tip of the tongue. Decent bitter, a little bit dusty and cardboardy. Fruits and finish are good.

Cask gravity at Nottingham BF 2007. Gold clear beer. Glorious grapefruit aroma. Good carbonation. Extraordinary hop. Very intense lychees. Very drinkable. Good balance yet still intense hop. Sherbert. Well done, though. 4.1/5 Re-rate Cask from GBBF 08. A really hoppy strong gold ale. Soft in mouth. Great peppery English EKG style hops. Wow. The hops, the mouth feel, the lemon curd fruit. Great stunning bitterness.

Bottled@Poirotti’s Skotoberfest 2007. Surprise found among the Broughton’s. Rubyish amber colour with a small, but longlasting beigeish head. Sweet caramel malts and some slight hoppyness and raisins in the nose. Flavour is a lot of fruity hops, with some caramel malts and raisins. Aftertaste is like cherrycores. A really pleasant thing.

500 ml bottle, bought in Edinburgh. ABV is 5.0%. Copper coloured beer, large and lasting off-white head. Malty aroma with vinous notes, also plenty of caramel, notes of bakery. Soft mouthfeel. Malty flavour with caramel and hints of dark fruits, but not as sweet as expected. Very moderate hops, the finish feels a bit "empty". Still a nice enough beer to drink.
