3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cask at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Brownish amber. Resiny hop aroma. Dry and ligh bodied with a distinct, firm mouthfeel. salty and bready with a finish that mixes orange and bitterness. Another solid, if perhaps unexciting beer from Fuller’s.

Pint pulled at The Whistle and Flute (Putney, London), a light froth with a frothy head. The malty is strong, very biscuity.

Cask @ Akkurat, Stockholm
Brown, spicy aroma. Spicy taste with butterscotch and molasses (?). Sweet hoppy aftertast with curry (spice) notes. Might go well with Indian food...
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Cask conditioned at Charlies. Amber coloured. A fruity, nutty and sweet bitter with a buttery diacetyl touch in the aroma and in the flavour. Not very interesting.

[Cask at Charlie’s Bar, Copenhagen] An amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet with notes of caramel and fruit giving it a very slight spiciness. The flavor is also sweet malty with strong notes of caramel and spices - it might be the molasses that gives it the spiciness, though I can’t pick out the molasses. Nice.
2.4 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Wallington Festival. Touch of diacetyl is the only interest in this dull as dishwater bitter. Lack of hop bite and a dreary dull malt.
