Cask at the Crown, Beeston, Notts. Abbot is a brown beer with a very malty, fruity aroma. This carries over to the flavour which is rich with soft fruit, caramel and sultanas. The finish is bitter with floral and citric hints. It breaks my heart to give a good rating to a Greene King beer, but there it is.

Probably better on cask than in a can or bottle. This is just not really to my taste still, over complicated flavours throughout, its not the best ale in the World. Maybe worthy of another chance.

Cask @ YNWA, Kolding.
Pours a great redish copper with a great, creamy, off-white head. Super duration. Mild aroma, some caramel and light grassy hops. Fine mouthfeel, light carbonation and a fine dry feel. Flavour starts off with quite a bit of sweet caramel and butterscotch. Then a good, dry hoppiness sets in. Pine, grass and flowery. Nice enough.

Cask at The Wharf, Aalborg, Denmark. Amber/brown color with a small off-white head. Aroma of slight sourness, dried fruit, diacetyl, caramel, toffee and earth. Taste of roasted malt, typical english hop bitterness, caramel, minerals, and light sweetness.
