Cask at the Sussex Arms, Twickenham Green, 04/05/13. Hazed light chestnut brown with a thin beige head that retains well, good lacing ensues. Nose is caramel, dark malts, biscuit, light sugars, background hops. Taste comprises caramel malt, good hop presence, light sugars, light tropical fruit notes, biscuit. Medium bodied with fine carbonation, good dose of bitterness in the finish. Good stuff, most enjoyable, probably the best beer I’ve had from Titanic.

Looks like this beer didnt survive the trip to the us.Pour was flat,hazed light orange. Aroma seemed mildly sweet chocolate but turns out like vitamins,old malt/hops.Minerally and planty.Slight tang but mostly like opening a jar of vitamins. Taste is medium sweet,malty,with some toast/buiscuit,then the annoying vitamin taste of hops,light chocolate notes,May have been good at one point,so Ill have to try this again fresher.

It pours a super-light clear gold with a big white head that leaves nice lacing. Smell is sweet caramel, butter, candied orange, and pine. The flavor is okay. There is a sharp grassy bitterness, also some lemon and bread. Not terrible but the aroma was killed in transit.

Bottle. Amber beer with a cream head. Woodsy and light malt aroma. Woodsy and light pine flavor. Medium bodied. Line pine and woodsiness linger with light grapefruit.

Some sour hay notes in the nose. Dull, yellowed copper body with a very light white head. I get raspberry and mulberry in this with heavy bitterness and a scratchy mouthfeel, a hoppy finish that sticks around.

Cask at Castle Hotel, Manchester. Last beer of the night 5.Jul.2012 After a great evening at The Angel Pub and Marble Arch Inn, and a considerable number of beers, I persuaded Stefan and Rune to have one last beer at our "regular spot". These are my notes:"Yummy! Malt, raspberry, bitter finish. Small dense creamy head. Русский стандар& (it’s a vodka brand) - ready for bed"

Bottle from Star Grocery in Berkeley, CA. Pours clear light copper with a slight white head. Aroma of peach/apricot jam over light caramel. Med body. Flavor is sort of peach/apricot with some floral over light caramel. Tho the flavors are not particularly intense, the bitter is quite strong. It’s very good, but difficult to find something to compare it to. Much more flavorful and firm in the mouth than the ABV might suggest. Nice stuff.

Cask conditioned at Harbury Beer Fest’12. Hazy brown with white head. Fruity, apricot, some sweetness, not quite sharp enough but lingering and pretty pleasant.

Cask@Wenlock Arms, London. Pale copper colour, small off-white head. Aroma is fruity, nectary, caramelly and also has some mild nuttyness to it. Flavour is caramel, toffee, fruits and some sweet floral and nectary notes. Quite bitter finish.
