Mar 16, 2005 [cask in London]
Clear orangish-dark amber. Guinness-like blanket on top that makes for thick lacing. Strong hoppy aroma with some butterscotch and subtle toffee. English hops dominate the beginning of the taste, followed by a nice toffee malt flavour and a hint of butterscotch. Fruity notes: cherry, coffee. Good bittering at the end. Perfectly balanced. Light to medium body, mouth coating, very low carbonation.

Oct 19, 2004 Cask (Nag’s Head still waiting for the tardy SilkTork): Clear brownish appearance, decent head formation. Mix of malt and hops in the aroma. Fairly rich malt palate, good fruitiness, decent hop bitterness.
Thanks to chris_o for buying.

Oct 1, 2004 Cask. copper coloured with a thin off-white head. Light citrus aroma with some light spice as well. flavour shows light caramel and a load of UK style spice. Slightly yeasty finish and nicely bitter. Fairly simple, but well done.

Jan 12, 2004 Updated: Feb 28, 2004Quite a surprise as I was not expecting too much. A very enjoyable best bitter. Good balance of malt and hops. Medium bodied. Good clean finish. Very moreish. A well made beer, well kept and well served (something of a surprise for a busy pub in Covent Garden, where cask ale is not the focus of attention). And lets hope McMullens continue to brew beer and resist the urge to become property speculators. Handpump, Nags head, Covent Garden, London
