Cask a guide dog
pours dark ruby brown with demerara and dried fruit on the nose. Rich dark fruit, a hint of licorice and dark chocolate on nose. Fab mild.

Cask Real Ale tasted at Kuikka. Mild malty nose. Pale beige head. Clear dark brown color. Slightly sour malty and roasty and hoppy taste. At the end hops bite. More than average hops. Nice color.

Light taste of roasted malt, really enjoyably drinkable and well-balanced. Good mild.

Woking Beer Festival 2012. Pours a dark brown colour with a thin tan head, aroma is roasted malt, the taste is roasted malt with a hint of chocolated with a dry finish.

Cask at Ayrshire Real Ale Festival, a dark ale an aroma of hops, taste was of light caramel, some fruitiness with a bitter finish; a pleasant ale.

3.8% deep amber colour with a good head, malt aroma, bitter slightly roast malt taste.

Handpull at The Harp (Chandos). Deep brick red, clear, small creamy tan head. Solid roast aroma, some sour fruit. Taste is more bitter (herbal) but I think more sour than intended - a bit off-putting. Slick, still, quick finishing .... yet another "meh", mostly from the excess acidic tartness overpowering the roast.

Chestnut brown, a touch bitter and sour. Roasted aroma with light hops. Ehhh...nothing special.

Cask @ The Coal Hole. Deep mahogany with a small, creamy white head. The nose is woody strawberry malts, brown sugar. The taste is red apple, rich wood polish, dusty nuts. Fermenting plums and toffee. Quite yeasty. Medium body, soft. Overall, there’s a bizarre yeastiness to this beer that didn’t sit well with me.

Cask. The Old White Swan, York. Tan head. Dark brown body. Caramel, grassy, peppery, dusty. Bitter. Dry finish.
