fonefan (4884), Ulfborg, Denmark Oct 1, 2008 Cask (handpump) @ The Crescent, Salford, Manchester, England M5. Clear medium amber color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, roasted, nutty - nutella alike, damp-stained, dusty. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a average duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is flat. (290708) FatPhil (2367), Espoo, Finland Jul 15, 2008 Cask (Wenlock Arms, London)
Bold orange, tiny head. Sweet carrot-and-walnut cake aroma, a hint of ginger. Very soft palate, creamy. Very hard to describe the taste - there is a hint of vegetables, not in a bad way, and nuts, and a smooth malty body. Subtle and smooth hops too. Tasty, but doesn’t excel.
