Cask gravity at Bowl Inn, Charing. Copper with thin beige head. Delicate roasted caramel and earthy hop aroma. Very tasty session bitter. Good earthy bitterness on finish, quite citrusy, but good malt balance. Terrific session bitter from one of the better English breweries.

Cask conditioned - handpump - Malt Shovel, Northampton. A dark copper coloured beer with an off-white head. The aroma is malty with notes of crackers. A crunchy crackeer like maltiness to the taste. Really easy to drink and very sessionable. Tasty stuff.

On cask at Cloisters. An amber ale with a lacy beige head. Aroma is a little smoky with caramel, chocolate and Arnott’s milk arrowroot biscuits. Similar flavours with mild carbonation and a fairly dry finish. Long caramel and hay like linger. I quite enjoyed this, especially the milk arrowroot biscuit nose which was a first for me.

[Cask conditioned at Oliver Twist, Stockholm] Hoppy and fruity aroma and flavour with some toffee notes. Smooth.

UPDATED: SEP 19, 2004 June, 2003: Cask, Dog & Bone, Gillingham. Not in best condition - a bit stale and slightly sour. Beyond that this is a sweetish malt based bitter with a small hop finish. Not great. [2.3]
Sept, 2004:The Market Porter Gathering. Oaky and slightly sweet. Good character. Sulphur aroma. The oaky, sweaty quality of this beer means it needs to be served in good condition to be fully appreciated. Had this a few times during the Gathering. Best beer of the night. [3.4]

UPDATED: OCT 15, 2007 I turned to garethyoung and said, " english brewers must put sulphur dioxide into thier beers, as they taste like amonia", im probably wrong but you get the idea of how to ruin a beer. REARTE: Bon Accord, good balanced citrus hops with a bit of caramalt thrown in, no sulphur to be seen at all.

15th August 2008. Clear dark amber beer. Soft and dry - loads of soft generic fruits and grapefruit. Not a lot of bitterness, Juicy fruit!

Cask at local club. Dark golden with white head. This was very lively beer even after several days still pouring with big head. Malty sweet with quite bitter finish.
