I guess that may be partly to blame.
The South Western Arms , St Denys, only has one regular week-after-week pint
but a forever changing collection of 7 to 10 guest beers a week. Its like a
continuous beer festival.
The pump clip for this Swithun showed someone in medieval clothing so , not
being familiar with the beer, myself anyway, don't know about the SWA
management, thought it was some deliberate olde worlde flavour.

Researching the use of tannic acid in brewing , it would seem to have a use
as a fining or clearing agent, but too much used in this case or failure to
clear the residue or something.
