May 26, 2009 Cask, Lord Keeper of the Great Seal, Oadby. Dark brown with red tints and a dense beige foam. Aromas are light malts with some fruitiness. Traces of chocolate. Flavours are smooth, light malts with some light coffee. Not much going on. Boring.

May 4, 2009 Cask handpull at Willow Walk Spoons, Victoria. Deepish brown colour, thin beige head. It’s a slightly low flavoured bitter, nothing wrong with it, just no real flavour or hop.

Apr 27, 2009 The Figure of Eight (JDW), Broad St, Brum. Still ruby with a squirt of Gillette. Slightly beefy cask aroma. Mushy choc and caramel malts, bit of chestnut, mild-like caramel slickness, slight dankness. Inoffensive- if it was labelled a mild we probably wouldn’t be so scathing. Pretty close to the cask version of the standard bitter. Finishable.

Apr 26, 2009 Cask in the new crown and alfread herring. Alround rating: Fruity nuttyness off the malts, brawn ale malts are key, theres a decent amoutn of sulphury mineral content in here too. Not really my deal.

Apr 22, 2009 Cask at the Monks Retreat (JDW), Reading. Dark amber with a dense creamy head; grainy aroma; creamy texture with sweet, slightly sour, malts and some toffee; dry finish. Very mediocre, surely they could do better than this, it’s not even a good copy of their usual keg cr*p.
