Cask at the Duke of St Albans, Highgate on 16th July 2024. Deep coppery amber with yellowy white foam and full lacing. Rich and solid malt aroma. Firmly malty in-mouth with a bitter kick. Grassy bitterness and nutty maltiness dominate the finish. Medium bodied with an engaging mouthfeel.

Long day..... and this was next in the fridge. Pretty good you know! Great in the glass, on the nose and in the mouth. Enjoyed, but not one to seek out again.

After a long hot Saturday of doing f all this was the beer to start the evening. I'd been for a soak in the hot tub so I needed something cool and refreshing. A slightly flat pour but looks good in the glass. Hops, bitterness, length and mouthfeel all present and very agreeable to drink. All round good beer.

It's been a long day with Audit & Risk Committee followed by the Board Meeting. I wasn't going to drink, but....... Anyway, uninspiring in the glass, but a flavour of hops that is growing on me. First sip and I felt it was watery, now I'd say ok. But still faint praise.
