Cask @ The Old Coffee House. Chestnut brown color with a modest white head. The nose is malty caramel, brown sugar sweetness, dark fruits, blackberry. The taste is sweet, more brown sugar and classic crystal malt flavor, long lightly-dry finish. Pretty robust body for a bitter, subtle carbonation. Overall, this was actually a very flavorful bitter served in excellent condition. Respect to the Coffee House for keeping a nice pint despite slightly dingy surroundings.

Cask @ CPK on 10th August 2011. Dark, clear copper with thick offwhite foam and full lacing. Sweet, malty aroma. Main taste grain and also vinous, as per a white wine. Large gulps bring a citric taste. Bitter sweet finish, but the bitterness increases. Grainy texture.

On cask in the Bree Louise. Poured a very unappealing murky brown with no head. Aroma of sweet malt. Medium body at best. Flavour of a very tired standard bitter. Dr. astringent aftertaste. Not good.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cask at the Old Coffee House, W1. Brown coloure d bitter with generous white head. A well balanced bitter with quite a pronounced but not strong pine/citrus hop character in the finish, quite light in body, some biscuity malt, medium finish. Well made and pleasant, a very sessionable bitter, perhaps not the most exciting of the Brodies efforts.
