8.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 9 Texture 10 Overall 7.5
[Cask at GBBF] Deep golden. Sweaty flowery hop aroma. Medium sweet, very soft. There’s some citrus and a pleasant cellary character. Drier salty finish. Individualistic and very well structured.

Cask gravity at Kent BF 2006. Pale copper with disappearing white head. Bit of farty blackcurrant. Bit thin in mouth, but really hoppy finish which is flowery and bitter. Very drying finish. Very nice hop in fact.

Cask gravity dispense at London Drinker BF 2006. Gold colour with thin white head. Citric, grapefruit hop aroma which has a touch of earthiness. Watery in mouth, but nice hoppy finish. I like the hops used in this.

Cask conditioned at NERAX 4/29/2005
Roasty aroma, lactic, vanilla, coffee, dry barley malt. Flavor is more of the same, with a good sense of roast and milky lactose. Bit of bitterness, but no hops flavor. Dry on the end, bit watery, but still well-done, IMO. Deep brownish-black color, transluscent with a small beige head.

Cask conditioned at NERAX 4/27/2005
Orange-yellow body, small, well-retained white head. Smells rather funky, maybe some fuggles gone South? Tastes of sugary, almost buttercream-like malt, bits of fruitiness apparent as well, light lemon-orange. A bit of soap on the finish. Medium body, no wateriness. I could get used to the odd funkiness, whatever it is.
