| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Feb 13, 2007 Cask conditioned - handpump - Malt Shovel Northampton. A copper coloured beer with a ring of off white bubbles. The aroma is malty but fairly non descript. The taste though is really nice and interesting. Malty and chewy with a good length. Some sweetness which made me wonder if there’s honey or elderflower. Almost warming even though it’s only 4.5%. Nice
