On tap at The Wharf. It pours a hazy amber body and a finger-thick, dense, off-white head. The aroma is sure hoppy, with resins and citrus, and loads of sugary crystal malts in a nice way. Some alcohol too. Some roasted notes in the bitter and sweet flavor. Alcohol too, along with sugary, biscuity malts, roasted notes, resins and hops. Bitter finish. Damn, nothing what I expected from England, a bit sweet but tasteful and pleasant. 101020

Cask-conditioned at the Portcullis, Clifton, Bristol 2/2/2011. Dark brown with a lacy, off-white head. Aroma of chocolate, with a touch of caramel and dry sloe fruit. Full mouth feel, with chocolate truffles, dark fruits and plenty of tannins in the finish. Excellent.
