A Mes rate: cask at Baker St. ’sporks.
A semi hazy copper colour with a very thin beige head. Good blend of floral hops and rich bready malt on the nose. Similar flavour. Wholemeal bread with some dried fruits and a citric finish. Straight forward but well balanced and tasty.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Cask (handpump) at the Willow Walk (JDW), Victoria. Quite dark brown colour for a bitter. Thin, off-white head. Toffee malt aroma, with a touch of chocolate. More malty than hoppy on the palate. Caramel to the fore. Some sweetness, but not too cloying. Clean, fresh mouthfeel. Rather nice, although I tend to b prefer bitters that have more overt bitterness.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Cask at the Alfred Herring. Aroma is malty, ruby sweetish malts, theres some earthy peppery character too. Taste is similar, good malt character and a fruityness which in a round about way and since im scottish cant help but feel like iron bru due to the peppery bitterness left on your tongue. Quite a good bitter, infact sack it im in the house by myself since the wifes away and iv nothing to do im away for another few.
