Cask at Charlie’s Bar, Copenhagen. An amber beer with a thin orange head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel and flowers, and some odd spicy, soapy note. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel and toffee as well as a lighter estery fruity note, leading to a dry nutty finish.

Small coarseish beige head. Muddy opaque brown body. Faint chocolate and flowers aroma. Dry-sweetish grainy caramelly taste with fruity notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, faintly astringent mouthfeel. Dryish herbal floral wooden aftertaste with very distinct raspberry notes, strangely. Spicy bitter taste lingers. Very nice, but a bit bland. Turned out to be muddy because it was the bottom of the cask. (0.25l cask, The Speaker, Westminster, London.)

Cask handpull, The Anchor, Bur-bar-zhuh. Fresh and a bit too cold; dark ruby slicked with beige. Funnily enough, smells of eggs: Burton, or Burtonised. Hints of cherry, hay, biscuit as it warms. Still, mineral soft, sulphurous and insipid with barely any flavour at all; hint of cream, one almond and a strand of hay crushed in a pint of imperceptibly salted water. The sort of beer horses would drink.

22nd March 2008. Reasonably well balanced bitter. Mildy hoppy with a bitterish finish.

Cask Stillage at the Station Bar, Llangollen 25/04/2009 Floral hoppy aroma. Amber coloured hoppy and zesty with a crisp and slightly bitter dry finish.

Cask (handpump) @ Bow Bar, 80 West Bow, Edinburgh EH1 2HH, Scotland.
Clear amber brown color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white to white head. Aroma is moderate malty, roasted, apple, chocolate and nutty notes. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft to flat. [20090410]

Cask conditioned handpump Globe Leicester A dark copper coloured beer with a thick lasting white head. The aroma is malty and cakey with a hint of chocolate. Plenty of choc in the mouth ith some bitterness and hints of bread and toast later.

Cask, the Gunmakers. Copper color, easy drinking and pleasant enough beer, but nothing special. I didn’t catch much chocolate flavour, but that might be me.

cask at Heriot Watt beer fesival ... copper ... not my hiop at all in nose ... musty ... oh and drain pour. Just didnt like it at all... where was teh chocolate

Thanet Easter Beer Fest. The Winter Gardens, Margate. The Easter XB. Light and drinkable with little chocolate but easy drinking and pleasant.

Draft at The Ship in Whitstable High Street. Copper brown in colour with a malty nose. Lots of toasty malt flavour and a pleasant bitter finish. Didn’t get much chocolate at all, so apparantly missed most of the point of this beer.....
