Cask. A dark amber beer with a thin buubly off-white head. The aroma has notes of caramel and fruit. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and caramel, leading to a dry, alcoholic, and metallic finish.

Cask handpull, The Star, Bath. Bright copper under a thin white lid. Nose lightly vinous with strawberry, cherry and caramel. Watery coffee, dank biscuit, shampoo hop and mushroom finish. Dry and uncomplicated; milky coffee, umami, chestnut, leaves. I’m making it sound more exotic and interesting than it is. Drab.

Cask@St Albans BF 06. Quite malty, and felt a bit sticky to me.Slight raw malt notes come through, with some light citric, earthy hop notes in the finish. More grainy/malty characters come through and as i mentioned its a bit sticky aswell.

1. Cask Handpump at the Gardener’s Rest, Sheffield 08/10/2004 Golden amber in colour with some wheat grain flavour. Slightly bitter malt finish.

Cask (gravity dispense) at St Albans Beer Festival , September 2006. Very attractive, burnished copper colour. Light, softly malty aroma. Full bodied, with a quite fat mouthfeel and a touch of sweetness, but a decent amalgam of earthy malt and spicy hops produce a well-balanced overall impression.
