Body is medium, texture is oily to watery, carbonation is soft to flat. (170108)

From cask at Bon Accord. Pours dark brown with a small white head. Aroma is dark malty and fruity acidic. Mild acidic and dark roasted malty. Breadish and dark caramelish.

Cask, gravity, at Cambridge Beer Festival ’09. The Devil’s Dyke of the brewery title is the East Anglian one rather than the Sussex version. Reddish amber. Glorious sweet marmalade malt aroma with a beguiling and evocative yeasty dustiness, which wins a rare 9. Malty taste has mandarin orange, marzipan and a mid bitter finish. Top notch sessioner.

Cask conditioned - handpump - Criterion, Leicester. An amber coloured beer with a slightly fruity aroma and hints if sweetness. The taste is sweet with some fruit and nut. A pretty decent solid drinking English bitter.
