Gravity cask at the Bree Louise. Pours a rich, amber-brown with no head. Aroma holds toasty malts, light citrus hops and some dark fruit. Flavor is nice, malty with some earthy bitterness and mild nuts. Light to medium in body with soft carbonation. Finishes with an easy hop character, lightly toasted malts, faint caramel and fruits. A nice beer.

500ml bottle from Drink of Fulham, 3rd Sept 2010. Russet with a small white head. Bready, filling beer. Good caramel note on the nose. Hint of smokiness to the flavour. Full palate that suits it. Nothing too exciting but decent beer, possibly a bit heavy going if you were to have a few. Malty without being overly sweet. Nice stuff.
2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Cask på William IV, Leyton 29 Sep 10. Mørk brun med antydning til rødt. Film-skum. Svak duft av plommer. Litt lett på smak, men antydning til tung frukt etter hvert. Tørr bitter ettersmak.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
500ml bottle from William IV pub, Leyton, drunk at home. It’s a very good malty fruity bitter with some milk choc flavours and some bitterness on the finish. The fruity malt reminds me of some Danish beers I’ve had funnily enough. Having had 17 of the beers on cask yesterday, I would say the bottles don’t stand up so well. Above average fruity best bitter.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Cask at the Crosse Keys, Covent Garden. Reddish-brown pour with a beige head. Berries, raisins and light malt aromas. Blackberry, cloves, raspberry flavours. Nice hoppy, fruity finish. Very pleasant.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
A Mes rate. Cask at the Southampton.
Mid brown with a very thin off white head. Really good bright fruity nose with just a hint of caramel. Superb earthy malt and dry grassy hops in the flavour. Brilliant balance. Straight forward but absolutely nothing wrong with it at all. Excellent dry dusty malt finish with a building bitterness. There’s no two ways about it, Brodies are dead good.
