Cask conditioned at Merton Beer Festival Fri July 7th 2006. This beer was the fourth in a quartet of beers that for me were head and shoulders above all else available over this weekend. Warm golden in colour with a small head, the hoppy aroma struck you like a bolt of lightning it really was intense, coupled with some zingy citrus aroma’s flying around as well. This was a really lovely nice sweet superbly hoppy beer that had a drying finish. The taste was excellent and I can only think that sandwiching this between the Black Adder and 1872 Porter is the reason I haven’t give it an even higher rating, I should have tried this first, on its own without the taste of intense coffee and chocolate bitterness still lasting in my mouth from my previous beer. This beer is gonna’ win some awards it really is wonderful, great write up below from Glenn imdownthepub.
