Cask conditioned & on hand Pump from The Alex in Derby on Sat 29th Jan. Dark / mid brown colour. Deep, rich, matly flavours. Not to strong tasting but very drinkable. Decent session ale.

Cask at blue blazer edinburgh ... Deep copper ... strong slightly sweet malty nose ... young fresh green wood ... nice toffee fruits ... little sweet hoppyness... good mouth feel.

had this brew at the Bathampton pub on the riverside of the Avon in England (see: http://www.thebathamptonmill.co.uk/), as it was the most local on offer ... not a classic ale at all, being rather dry and smoky in the palate ... a very interesting brew, which is rather suited to accompany a meal than be enjoyed on it’s own ...

<i>Cask @ Oliver Twist, Stockholm</i> <br />Red/brown. A bit nutty aroma and flavour. Slightly sweet and a bit caramel in finish. Nice session beer on the sweet side.

Cask conditioned at The Woolpack, Banbury, Oxon. Brown amber with white head. A rich malty body with a touch of sweetness and caramel, the flavour is full for a light bitter with a hint of prunes and a wet graininess. Hops do come through quite late, a little peppery and dusty, but not to any great extent. An accomplished bitter without reaching greatness.
