Amber with a small white head. Weak fruity aroma with a little grass. Sweet fruity and toffee flavour

Cask conditioned at a Wetherspoons, sold as Gaol House, but a very friendly manager revealed the secret. Copper brown with slight head, sold too cold. Tartish, fruity, nasal beer with a mass of caramel, not great, but I was in a Spoons.

Cask (handpump) @ Market Porter, Borough, London SE1, England.
Clear light to medium amber orange color with a average, frothy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, off-white to white head. Aroma is moderate malty, old malt, dusty, caramel notes. Flavor is moderate sweet and light to moderate bitter with a average duration. Bitternes is malt bitter. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is flat. (030808)

Cask at Kitty’s, Helsinki. Copper color. Sweetish biscuity aroma with hints of sulphur. Firm fruity-bitter flavor with some caramel and some apricot. Not in freshest condition.

Cask (Black Door, Helsinki)
Slightly hazy deep orange, large loose head. Beautiful noble hop hoppy aroma, some slight black tea, and a decent malty component too. Huge fruit ester taste, plenty of malts, but masses of noble hops - all very well integrated together. Long nutty bitter finish. Classic English bitter - good one Hop Back.

Cask, 4.6%. Fruity aroma.copper colour, very small white head. The flavour is a little sweet and quite roasted. Good nuttiness. Medium bitterness, slightly rough in the finish.

Cask, gravity, at Peterborough BF ’08. Copper. Slight citrus hop aroma. Grassy nettly taste with a mid bitter finish. This was quite good, though my taste buds had taken a bit of a beating by this stage of the festival.

Cask. Amber colour, small beige head. Aroma is wooden and fruity along with some slight yeastyness. Flavour is wooden and grassy and being balanced up by some sweet fruityness.

Cask handpull at Market Porter. Copper coloour with lasting beige head. Some dustyness to a fruity best bitter. It’s alright, some good fruit salad. Some decent malts, just a bit better than average. Bit earthy on finish.
