| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 24, 2009 Updated: Sep 25, 2009Cask gravity, 2nd Bulkington Beer Festival. Still amber gold. Nose white grape juice, musky hopcone; some wet oaky wood, alcohol, spliff. Rich and full malt character overlaid with citrus and stone fruit. Dryish, slightly boozy and humming softly with citrus hop, grape, mushed-up custard cream, oat and vanilla afters. Satisfying, full and dry. Octo couldn’t leave it alone. Another winner from Beowulf.

There is a little fruit and malt on the nose, these also appear in the mouth. Surprisingly bitter and a bitterness that lingers, the end is rather dry. Really quite enjoyable.

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 27, 2008 A Mes rate: cask at the Market Porter. Clean gold, good white head and in very good condition. Slight egg on the nose but it’s just about held in check by some decent citric hoppage. I’d love to say more but the flavour is almost identical other than a lick of earthy malt and a developing bitterness in the finish. Straight forward and a little unimaginative. fonefan (11888), VestJylland, Denmark
