3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cask conditioned at The Last Drop Inn, York. Brown red with white head. I got a smokey flavour out of the roased sweet malt, a hint of bonfire, then a sweet toffee / caramel. Not exactly bitter, but reasonable and unusual.
3.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
A Valentine’s Day brew, bottled, Booths, Windermere. Peachy aroma, the flavour is dry, a hint of grassiness, with apricots coming through. I sensed a cough-mixture like flavour somwhere in there aswell. Full bodied, robust and alcoholic, tastes stronger than its 4.2% abv. Very more-ish, with a dry, yet fruity finish.

A Mes rate: cask at the Bon Accord, Glasgow.
Red brown with a thin off white head. Roasty malt and a slight sourness. Fruity finish. Far from being in good nick unfortunately.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Cask in the Bon Accord. Another beer in bad condition. Aroma is roasty, musty, old cellar. Taste is similar, quite yeasty, some fruit. But body is dead and its fairly usless.
