SaintMatty (485), Tallinn, Estonia Aug 27, 2008 Cask (White Hart Hotel,Whitechurch) - Copper brown with a small head. Fruity aroma with raisins. Malty and fruity taste with raisins featuring again. Refreshing but nothing special. oh6gdx (5904), Vaasa, Finland Aug 19, 2008 Cask@GBBF2008. Amber colour, not much head. Aroma is yeast, some dough, wood and also some mild wooden notes. Flavour is wood, yeast, some mild licorice as well as mild herbal notes. Ethereal (894), London, Greater London, England Aug 9, 2008 Cask at GBBF 08. Amber. Malty at first but then nicely balanced. Decent weight and finish but a pretty dull beer. KimJohansen (3351), Copenhagen V, Denmark Aug 7, 2008 Clear amber with tiny white head. Sweet aroma with caramel notes. Sweet flavor with caramel and hoppy notes. Ends bitter. dj (370), Gloucestershire, England Dec 15, 2007 Cask handpump at the Exmouth Arms, Cheltenham 14/12/2007. An amber colour with an average head. An unpleasant manure aroma and taste that made me feel rather unwell and almost glad they were serving short measures. I gave up after 1/4 of the pint.
I wouldn’t usually rate beer that I suspect of being bad, but this was an Arkells beer in an Arkells pub so there is no excuse.
