Cask, The Crown, Nuneaton. Dusty chestnut with a cream halo. Pleasantly sour English fruit aroma: rhubarb and gooseberry. Lovely jammy blackberry tang of sour, earthy malt, dry roasted. Hint of alcohol on the end. Pretty good stuff again from Cottage.

Cask at the Allied Arms, Reading. Mahogany in colour with a thin cream head; malty aroma with some light toffee; toffee flavour, but not over sweet, also some biscuity malts; the finish is dry and warming with more biscuit.

Cask-conditioned at the Kings Head (JDW), Monmouth 4/4/10. Copper coloured with a slight white head. Slightly bready, malty aroma with a touch of sweet fruit. Flavour was dominated by cereal malts, with some more fruit and short, bitter finish. Ok.
