blankboy (2562), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jul 27, 2007 Cask at Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese Inn, Castleton, Derbyshire. Pours a clear copper-orange with an average size creamy off-white head. Aroma surprised me by being slightly roasty, I wasn’t expecting that, a little nutty as well. Flavour’s also slightly roasty along with some nuttiness and a decent bitter finish. Medium bodied. Pretty different for a Bitter, I enjoyed it.
