hughie (2415), Bedford, Bedfordshire, England Oct 11, 2008 Cask, gravity, at Bedford BF ’08. Amber. Faint malt aroma. Lovely rich cheesy malt taste with burnt bread crust and some bitterness. Plenty of flavour for an under 4% beer. Liked it.
MesandSim (4623), Highgate, Greater London, England Apr 9, 2007 A Sim rate (Cask at The Phoenix): Smells malty and hoppy, very alcoholic tasting despite its strength. Tastes like off milk. Not very nice. Mungo (2474), Southampton, Hampshire, England Mar 14, 2007 Cask conditioned @ South Western Arms, Soton. Some of the guys at the bar seemed quite taken with this beer but I wasnt so impressed. Malty with fruity toffee and earthy floral hops in the light finish. Light and drinkable. StueyD (590), King’s Lynn, Norfolk, Norfolk, England Mar 1, 2006 A mid, copper brown coloured beer, with a weak off white head. A light, slightly weak nose with hints of hop and apple. The taste is rather flat, light and dry on the mouth, with a bitter, woody hop flavour. The aftertaste is dry. Cask conditioned guest ale at the Fox & Hounds, Heacham, Norfolk. haddonsman (1205), Derby, Derbyshire, England Feb 6, 2006 Cask (handpulled) at the Royal Oak, Ockbrook, Derby. Another above average English bitter; copper body, maltyness not overdone, decent bitter finish.
