Cask (Guide Dog, Southampton) - Dark brown with red tinges. Malty and fruity aroma. Sweet, roasted and fruity taste with notes of raisins, dried fruit and malt.

Cask at Leicester Beer Festival 2012. It was getting late in the festival day by the time I had this and I neglected to take any notes to accompany my scores - however, I recall it being a dark, very drinkable malty ale with more of a punch to it than many milds.
