Cask, gravity, at St Neots BF ’09 (’Booze on the Ouse’). Dark reddish brown. Delightful leathery malt aroma. Very sweet sugary taste tending to cloy. Slight dryness which seemed to intensify. Wasn’t sure about this one at first, but it grew on me.

Cask Mill, Cambridge. Disappointing vinegary mess. I think the pub must take the blame for this. Will re-rate when I find a better one

Cask (gravity dispense) at White Cliffs Beer Festival, February 2006. Reddish copper colour. Quite dry. Flavours are mainly dry malt with some caramel, berry fruit and a smattering of earthy hop. Quite nice balance. Solid stuff but nothing really distinctive here.
