Cask at The Albion, Winchester. 16/12/16. Asked the barman what style of beer it was (label just mentioned ’dark ale’), but he said he didn’t drink beer and didn’t know. Added as an Old Ale as it seems to be an update of Pastures Old. Enjoyable malts and cheap chocolate aroma Extremely dark chestnut. Thin frothy head. Sweet - dark chocolate and malts. Light bodied, a tad watery. However I really enjoyed it.

GBBF Day 4. Cask. Clear amber beer, bubbly cream colour head. Palate is light, with decent fine carbonation. Nice condition. Light sweet caramel malts, some toffee. Bright marmalade, lesser tangerine. Light finish brings a mild spice. Hangs together well.
