Cask@GBBF2009. Amber colour, not much head. Aroma is sweet wood, mild syrup, caramel and some slight notes of roast. Flavour is the same, being quite strong on the wooden side. Nice bitter finish.

Gravity and bottle in several pubs in Maldon, Essex 3-6 May 08. Brown colored. A tiny fluffy head. Aroma of prunes. Flavor of tropical fruits. Aftertaste of sweet prunes. A bit one dimensional. Not the perfect beer for celebrating my beer # 1000, but Maldon and surroundings was perfect for a small group celebrating CinnamonGirl’s 50th birthday.

A few halfs from gravity dispense and some bottles during a few days in Maldon. Gravicasks at the wonderful Blue Boar were served at a perfect drinking temperature. Clear mahogany body with no head. Malt-fruity aroma. Some caramel malts in flavour mixed with bitter fruits. A bit watered palate, but alright as a session bitter (Maldon, Essex early May 08).
