GBBF, London, gravity. Sampled with chris_o, ungstrup and maybe rauchbier (I was losing track by this point). Plain aroma, no head. Very sweet, fruity and smooth, with some orange. No gradiation or development. Alright, but not brilliant.

Straw color and no head. Weak malt body. Not at all strong - don't know why this was listed with the porters, stouts and strong ales. Pretty poor showing.

Cask, Sweet Green, Bolton. Burnt Amber colour. Sweet, floral ,orangey taste. Some lingering hops. Nothing to shake the foundations but not without charm.

DeepBlack (386) - Derby, Derbyshire, ENGLAND - FEB 19, 2005
Straight from the Cask at the Chesterfield Beer Festival on 04/02/05. Mid amber / straw brown bolour. A very fresh feel to the aroma & taste. Quite hoppy, nice lingering aftertaste.

CASK- Light mellow, I thought it kind of tasted like apple juice. If it wasn’t so damn fruity it might have a chance...
