Cask, The Highcross, Leicester. Dark amber brown with a small head. Aromas are light weetabix and chocolate malts. Flavours are very mooth chocolate malts with a light fruitiness. More like a brown mild. Peppery on the finish. Too light.

Apr 22, 2008 A Mes rate: Cask at Baker St ’Sporks.
Hazy amber with a thin off white head. Slightly metallic hop aroma with big fruity notes and rather a lot of sugar. Straight forward fruity malt flavour with a bit of a salty note. Very dull.

Apr 15, 2008 Cask, Hoylake Lights (JDW). Looked promising enough -reddish brown with lasting white head. Slightly sweet aroma with hint of caramel. Some maltiness in the flavour but a really insipid and watery feel to this. Really disappointing.
A chore to drink.

Apr 10, 2008 Knickersby ’Spoons. Jelly red with a tight nitro-like collar. Creamy, soft and mealy. Biscuit, raisin, butter, quite a bit of wood. A dab of vinous sourness. Plastic, distant apple, breakfast cereal. Washed-out, meagre, dull...and nothing like a bock. Nearly finished it, but gave up.
