A 500ml bottle with a BB of Sept 2013. Acquired a while back from Booths. According to the label, this is brewed with Worcestershire hops.

Poured into a tulip pint glass. Bottle conditioned. A coppery-amber colour with some floating sediment and low carbonation. Forms a small head of white foam that disappears rapidly. Aroma of caramel malt with hints of earthy yeast, mild fruity esters and stewed leaves. A whiff of harsh cardboard in the background. Weak.

Tastes of mild caramel malt with a harsh, dry finish. Notes of earthy yeast, fruity esters, stewed leaves, cardboard and mild caramel/toffee. Highly attenuated, with a mild bitterness upon swallowing. Mouthfeel is smooth, tingly and very dry. Thin, insubstantial body. Pretty astringent, followed by an aftertaste of acrid stewed leaves, cardboard and earthy yeast.

Meh - unimpressive. Dull and vaguely unpleasant. Looks lacklustre, with an aroma/flavour of cardboard and earthy yeast. Sub-par body. Not a particularly enjoyable or noteworthy brew - perhaps I'll try it again some time but based on this experience I can't commend it to anyone.

Bottle conditioned, 500ml, poured into an Abbot Ale tankard. The second beer from this brewery I've reviewed from the set of four I purchased some months ago.

The beer was eager to get out the bottle so some sediment managed to get into my tankard, the body was therefore somewhat cloudy. Mid-amber in colour, misty but not spoilt. On top a huge bubbley head of white foam.

A great burst of yeast esters hit the nose, followed by some hop and dry forest floor (nuts and pine cones) smells.

The taste is of fresh hops and yeast, malts arriving mid-mouthfeel. The rear label claims "Full bodied with a nutty flavour, a beer from the past". There is a nut undertone if you are given the suggestion and try and find one.

Lively and sharp, a pleasant beer from start to finish. This was the 4th English beer in a 'random beer tasting evening' and went down very well with some 'Cheese with no name' (a kind of bree/camembert).
