Really enjoyed this one. One of the most striking beer flavours you’ll get. Not a taste of fruits but more of grain flavours, good pint here.

Cask at The Butchers Arms, Herne: Brown in colour as you’d epect from a best bitter. Very malty aroma. The flavour is full of malt with a fair ammount of toffee. Probably the best best bitter there is. Gorgeous beer.

The Black Jug, Horsham. Fresh barelly snout. Tea-like amber lined with lace. Simple wholesome woodsiness, heady dried fruit at 4%, buttery biscuit to finish. Much more like it.

Pint cask at The White Hart, Newhaven. Brown color, almost no head. Aroma is spicy and fruity. Flavor is sweet malt, spices and some hops.
