TBone (5116), Pori, Finland Apr 29, 2006 Cask @Pub Höyry
Dark copper brown, firm tan head. Molasses, fruits (dried plums) and a bit of fruity hops in the nose. Dried plums and apricot in the flavor. Good malty base, non-aggressive hops. Some earthy notes. Different. After sampling this and Old Growler I could guess that Nethergate has its own unique touch in the brewing. harrisoni (5359), Ashford, Kent, England Sep 4, 2005 Handpull cask at Humphrey Bean JDW Tonbridge, Kent. Dark brown bitter with goodish malt and hops but there was an underlying taste that I did not like Spiesy (2331), Global Citizen, Greater London, England Jul 9, 2005 Cask Conditioned, @ JDW, Holborn, London.
Malty beer with some sweetness and a hint of oaky sourness (borrowed from Silk)
haddonsman (1191), Derby, Derbyshire, England Feb 21, 2005 Cask at Babington Arms, Derby. Dark chestnut body, big sweet malty nose, strong fruity malts at the start, cutting hop finish, sweetness lingers, gives it a roller-coaster balance. pivo (2488), Germany Feb 19, 2005 Musty, light nose; deep copper amber color; lathery head. Sweet toasted malt body with a light dainty hop bitter tinge at the end. Flat with a creamy mouthfeel. Goess down quick. Good British ale.
