Off cask at greyhound derby. Very middle of the road bitter. Not much ho Aroma or flavour.

Recently had two poor Titanic beers, this my 11th one of there’s this year and what a quality ale. Had on cask at Cask Bar in Manchester, after Rochefort 8 it was a tough ask, but this was superb. Strong Walnutty/coffee nose, taste of roast, chocolate, bit of lemon. Chestnut coloured ale, very impressed indeed, definitely not what I expected.

On cask at Cloisters. Pours a dark ruby colour with a thick beige head. Aroma of caramel, coffee and roasty malt. Flavours of roasty malt, treacle, coffee and chocolate. Moderate carbonation. Nicely bitter. I really enjoyed this.

Cask at cloisters. Amber to red with white head. Mild sweetness and some hops. Good enough.

Cask @ The Rake, London. Nice red color, decent foamy white head. Smell some sweetness, lightly cellar and lightly bitter. Decent bitter taste. Decent carbo, low to medium body.

Cask handpull, The Shoes, Nuneaton, 14/05/11. Chestunt with a level beige top. Slick condition; cherry and apple Chewits dominate; hay and cocoa hints, astringent afters. Fake apple and burnt wood aroma. Trace of bile and copper. What a frustating brewery.

From cask at Albert Tavern, Freuchie, Scotland. Dark amber brown colour, creamy off white head. Aroma of some hops, coffee, light fruity, bit of chocolate. Flavour is mild coffee, watery, hoppy, light moccha, light fruity, bitter finish. Light bodied.

Cask, The Francis Newton, Sheffield, UK. Ruby brown, impressive tan head. Faint clove and raisin aroma, very nice flavour of cinnamon and plumb. Bright hop finish.
