Cask, Charters, Peterborough. Squash-like headless red. Nose enticing chocolate, earth, nuts and coffee. Zero condition, but not the beer’s fault. coffee nuttiness, wisp of smoke linger, not much in the way of hops. Pretty good, if a bit tired.

Cask, Black Horse, Darwen. Dark mahogany colour with a medium off white head. Citrus hop aroma. Decent malt and hop balance in the flavour which had notes of tea. Gently lingering bitter finish. Not bad
