UPDATED: NOV 8, 2023 On cask at City Arms, pours a clear copper with a small beige head. Aroma brings out English bready malt, a hint of toasted caramel, and toasted nuts. Flavour is smooth, with bready malt, toasted nuts, and light herbal/fungal notes. Nothing wrong here, just has that common fungal character. Fine.

UPDATED: SEP 30, 2023 Pint at Owain Glyndwr, Cardiff. Some potato skins aside. A clear reddish copper pour with a beige thick head, much to my surprise (thought it'd have no head whatsoever.) Not really aromatic: just a hint of earth, a tad of clay, some read berries's distant memories and you're done. Dry, not too crisp mouthfeel (this is served at room temperature.) No big faults, though. Bitterish, medium-lasting finish. Forgettable.

UPDATED: SEP 20, 2023 Cask @ Royal George, Pembroke. Clear copper-amber with a glow and a creamy head. Malty aroma and taste, with a few caramels in the mix in the latter. Very traditional brew.

UPDATED: AUG 20, 2023 Light leather, some lemon. Orange peel. Dark amber pour with great head. Creamy consistency. Light tangy finish. A little perfume. Not terribly complex but decent. Cask at City Arms.
