Cask at The Boltmakers, Keighley, West Yorks’ 04-05-07. Standard brown beer, nice beer that slipped down with no effort. Sweet malty aroma and taste whilst uncomplicated was quite malty, very smooth and swigable.

A - roasted caramel and fruit A - mid amber T - sweet with roasted bitter P - mid and soft O - o.k.

Cask conditioned Handpump Royal Oak Walgrave. A mahogany coloured beer with a whitish head and lacing. A malty and nutty aroma. Malty in the mouth too. A bit of stewed tea. Fruity. Typical Cottage low hopping, but I think it’s quite tasty.

Cask conditioned at The Woolpack, Banbury. Brown amber with white head. This was a little better than the recent Cottage I’ve had, the body has a deeper maltiness than normal, then there was a whispy light hop note giving some depth. Reasonable.
