Cask. Some carbonation. Lacing but not a lasting head. Aromas like malt loaf, almonds and cherries. Tastes well balanced - bitter and sweet. Good

Cask @The Nag’s Head, Lyme Regis. Have also sampled this at the Church House Inn, Stokenham. Well-balanced, a very sessionable ale - perfect for 3 or 4 pints at mid-pace over a couple of hours. Love the Otter Brewery ethos and glass/branding, so extra marks for the ambience created.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Cask, handpump @ The Kents, Wellswood Village. Torquay, Devon.
Bright and radiant, deep orange amber with a short, compact and lasting, creamy dollop of white atop. Fruity and rich nose of ripe plum, apricot, lemon zest, marmalade conserve with just a little sweet Anzac biscuits. Marmalade and bitter orange in the mouth, quite quenching and tangy with a well played balance of biscuity nutty, rich malts mid-palate and an odd note of sour berries and figs in back. Light in body, smooth and rounded with just a mild prickle of life evident. Ends short, clean with a light spicy hop note fading off. This is delicious stuff. Tried again at the Exmouth Arms, Exmouth and it came up trumps, so a second and third pint was in order. A very sessionable number!

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Cask@The Duke Of Wellington, London. Copper colour with a foamy small slightly off-white head. Aroma is fruity, wooden, quite crisp maltyness as well as mild toasted and spicy notes. Flavour is quite much the same, but the crisp maltyness shows up a bit stronger than in the aroma. Pleasant bitterness in the finish and aftertaste.

So, so beer. Very inoffensive and not much to write home about. love the pint glass though!

Cask at The Dolphin, Torquay. Pours copper with a tiny white head. Aroma of dusty and fruity malts. Taste is nutty malts, not much hops at all here, lingering sweet malty aftertaste.
