Taken from notes from England, July 2007. Cheers Chris!
Dark golden colored pour from the clear 500 mL bottle. Wispy, bubbly head, some creamy lace. Looks nice.
Sweet malts dominate this typically English brew, with a small hop presence in the finish. Dry and sweet at the same time. Bitterness is more in the nose rather than the taste. A little caramel and toffee come through, with the classic shortbread and biscuity based malts.
Very drinkable. Won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, but I could easily turn this into a “sessionable” brew (without it being a session beer of course). Lovely stuff. Probably doesn’t travel all that well.
