A Mes rate: Cask at Baker Street ’Sporks.
Golden brown with a thin white head and lots of lace. Good malt, some slightly grassy hops and a nice peaty and old leather note. Slightly astringent but some bloody excellent bitterness really sorts it out, especially in the finish. Very slightly phenolic. Great length. Pretty good stuff.
