Cask (handpulled) at Fellows Morton and Clayton, Nottingham on Deep Black’s stag pub crawl. Ever since FMC stopped stocking Mallard beers I’ve been elsewhere, so it was good to revisit and taste a decent, clean cut bitter. Not spectacular but a solid enough starter.

Cask handpull, The Rake, Southwark, 04/04/12. Copper with a frilling off white foam. Herbal, dandelion-like aroma leading to a similar but lemony hop flavour rounded with digestives. Bitter finish with creamy afters. Good.

Tap @ The Victoria. Pours cherry amber with minimal off white head some lacing. Aroma of malts and fruits. Flavor is fruity and malty, a bit sweet caramel tones. Very lean on palate. Finishes sweet and then dry tart.

Cask handpump. Dark copper and slightly cloudy. Short foam head. Slight citrus scent but not much in the nose. Sweet start then very bitter. Quite thin. Roasted nuts in the mouth but generally not much in the mouth either. Boring.

Cask (handpump) @ GBBF 09, Great British Beer Festival, Earls Court Exhibition Centre, London, England.
Clear medium yellow / orange amber color with a average, frothy, good lacing, fully lasting, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, caramel, light roasted, licorice - anis notes, light to moderate hoppy, citrus - orange. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a average duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft to flat. [20090806]

Cask at GBBF 2009. Amber with a lasting off-white head. Aroma has grassy hops and some fruit. Dry, grassy and wooden hop flavour

Cask@GBBF 2009. Amber color, small steady off-white head. Aroma has wood, lime, some sweet fruity notes. Nutty hoppy flavor with some lemony-fruity bitterness. Aftertaste has decent bitterness. Decent body for 3.8% beer, but otherwise a bit boring.

Cask@GBBF2009. Golden colour, small beige head. Aroma is sweet malts, birchsap, mild spices and freshly cut wood. Flavour is quite much the same. Nice balanced and refreshing brew which ends in a quite big spicyness.

Cask conditioned at Far from the Madding Crowd, Oxford. Amber to copper with white head. Rich malty beer, quite dry with a tea like hop overlaid. Some toffee, caramel, fairly standard bitter.

Cask at The Market Porter, London. Mild hop aroma. Coppery color with a whiteish head. Medium body. Floral hop over light caramel or biscuit. Carbonation hardly noticeable. Towards the finish hop turns a bit grapefruity. Brew also turns a bit watery.

Cask at The Market Porter, London Bridge 1 May 08. Dark golden brown. A creamy tanned head that disappeared. Weak aroma. Soft mouthfeel. No bitterness. Dry finish.
