Cask (handpump), Duck & Drake, Leeds, October 2006. Darkish amber colour with a thin white head. Toasty malt dominates, accompanied by undercurrents of soft berry fruit. Enough bitterness to provide a decent counterpoint. Solid stuff.

Cask at the Wharf. Weakly spicy aroma. Clear chestnut colour. Refreshing teaish flavour, sourish with some cardboard. Some hoppiness which is also teaish and fruity.

Cask at Charlies. Amber coloured. Malty and fruity aroma. Sweetish flavour of berries with a slightly bitter and hoppy finish. Decent bitter.

[Cask at Charlie’s Bar, Copenhagen] A hazy amber beer with a thin tan head. The aroma is light with a sweet malty base on which light notes of berries appears. The flavor is sweet malty with strong notes of berries, leading to a dry bitter end.
