Doppelganger (1114), Oxford, Oxfordshire, England
Jul 9, 2007 Gravity, Merton Beer Festival. Very dark brown, almost opaque, fine layer of off-white head. Rustic earthy bread aroma, lightly roasty, light caramel. Simple, but attractive. Earthy bread flavor, just a little smoke, some copper penny pinging around in the background, but in this case it’s a nice thing. Light body, but not thin. A solid mild, not a shocker, but hearty and satisfying.
Fin (2179), Merton, Oxfordshire, England
Jul 9, 2007 Cask at Merton Summer Beer Festival 07-07-07. Poured very dark brown without much of a head, great smokey aroma which then followed through into the mouth. This was a jolly good Mild that tasted nice malty and ’roasty smokey’ but for some reason it never quite lived up to expectations.
