Cask at the the GBBF 2008. Amber colour. Very nice aroma of dark fruits, butterscotch and oak. The flavour is fairly well balanced between the malts (with some caramel) and decent hops.

Cask gravity at Kent BF 08. Slight hazy gold, thin white head. Some decent almond/peach/apricot jam fruit flavour. It’s a little peachy. Good condition. Just a little plain/odd.

50cl bottle from Westholme Stores, Goring-on-Thames, Oxon. Hazy chestnut brown with a cream head; chocolate and roasted malt aroma; chocolate and treacle in the mouth, rich and smooth with a nutty dryness. Very pleasant.

50cl bottle from Westholme Stores, Goring-on-Thames, Oxon. Hazy brown with a trace of cream head; fruity malt aroma; buttery, nutty flavours with good bitterness and some fruit. Okay, but nothing special.

Cask at the Dolphin, Derby. A rather uninspiring bitter; gold with a creamy white head; grassy hop aroma; smooth with a a slight citrus flavour; instantly forgettable.

Thick beige head over hazy amber-brown beer with mossy shine. Fresh malty & greenery nose, parsley and a decent touch of chocolate. Chocolaty, and tobacco-ashy flavours mixed with some discreet but good hops. Notes of caramalt and chocolate malts; dry-ish, leafy finish. Light to medium bodied; very slight dry-out effect. Nice beer, definitely; discreetly British, even when they persist calling a 6% ale strong... Pity about Lundy Island brewery, however. Thanks very much, SteveH, very nice!
