Draught (pint) at Dempseys, Cardiff, Wales. As Brains Smooth Cold. Dark amber colour with thin firm off-white head. Very weak bitter aroma as it’s too cold. Too cold to drink as well. Not much of a flavour. Dry bitter flavour When gets warmer. These extra cold things are quite pointless to me.

On tap at a pub in Cardiff (can’t remember which one, but it’s available almost everywhere). Lightly malty and bready with a soft bitterness.

Cask at the Grapes W1. A copper coloured bitter with a malty dryish flavour. Drinkable session beer.

Very crisp, very refreshing and a perfectly smooth bitter. Excellent brewing.

A lovely welsh bitter... which i prefer in general to most english bitters... i enjoyed this New Years Eve in Cardiff at Dempseys across from the Cardiff Castle... this helped to make a great night... A: Medium amber with a thin-medium off white head... fades nicely S: Floral hops and bakery malts play off each other T: The aroma profile plays a big part in the taste with the floral hops smashing up front and then giving way to rich malts typical of the bitter M: Medium bodied... smooth and velvety O: A good one. I’d enjoy again and again

Cask @ State Bar. Dark copper colour, white head. Nose is soft malty and caramel. Flavour is soft malted, caramel malts, slightly fruity. Thin bodied. Slightly bitter finish.

Amber pour with a tight creamy head. The nose is softly malty with a little bit of light earthiness and a touch of soft fruit on the palate. Light bodied - but plenty quaffable.

(cask) clear golden colour with a creamy off-white head. aroma of honey and grass, with a light hint of mushrooms. flavour is the same, quite earthy, with light notes of marzipan and a grainy finish. light to medium body with smooth carbonation.

On cask at the Cottage in Cardiff. Pours a clear golden hue with a thick cask head. The aroma is sweet bitter hops and malts. A nice flavor is smooth malts, some bitter hops, caramel. Very drinkable. That wonderful cask real-ale body.

Cask @ The Cardiff Cottage. Clear amber. Sparkler head leaves lots of lace. Aroma is wet and earthy hops. Palate is soft. Very balanced and flavorful with nutty malts and a nice hoppy finish. A very drinkable bitter.

Cask@GBBF2010. Copper coloured with small beige head. Aroma is fruits, nuts, wood, some hops and caramel malts. Flavour is quite much the same in a rather nicely balanced way.
