Cask conditioned at Stratford upon Avon Beer Fest ’07. Dark chestnut with white head. fruity although slightly thin beer, darkly malted with a sweetish glucose note, maybe a touch of damson within the fruity body. Quick finish, a decent beer.

A - Roasted caramel and coffee A - Dark with thin cream coloured head T - A touch of sour, with roasted burnt bitter P - Full O - Cup of coffee

Cask, King’s Head, Carlisle. Good sweetish brown-black brew. My drinking companion was of the same opinion as me that it was more of a strong mild. Smooth, faint traces of roast, decent long finish.

500ml bottle. Deep, dark ruddy brown; mostly disappearing, loose & light orangey brown head. A surface tartness on the nose - though this gradually subsides - with an underlying smokey, roastiness & some sulphur on the swirl. On the tongue it keeps the fruit, though sweeter & not quite as acidic as the aroma indicated it might be. Very little bitterness. Some yeast. Not much oomph on the palate. Light to medium body, relatively soft mouthfeel. The fruit lingers longer than any bitterness. Another I don’t think has bottled too well. I’ll look out for it on cask for a rerate.

Cask (handpump) @ The Grove, Huddersfield, England.
Clear medium to dark brown color with a average, frothy, good - fair lacing, mostly diminishing, off-white head. Aroma is moderate to light heavy malty, roasted, dusty, coffee notes. Flavor is moderate sweet and moderate to heavy bitter with a average to long duration, and a sour notes. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is flat. [20090716]

Cask at the King’s Head, Norwich, "Post-Xmas Crawl Part 2", 28th Dec 08. Dark brown, very still. Soft palate, malt caramel flavour. Smooth but could do with more flavour.
