Cask at The Hercules, Lambeth. Clear chestnut brown. Foamy off-white head. Aroma has chewy malts, caramel and berry sourness. Flavourwise it has tangy berries and underlying caramel. Hiwever it's less sweet than the aroma would.suggest. The berries add tartness and there is bitter woodiness and grains. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Spft slightly fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Decent old school stuff. Some twigs.

Cask at the Signal Box Euston. A clear pale amber orange coloured pour with a loose off white head. Aroma is nice layered rustic grains, white grape, dried fruits, apple, straw. Flavour is composed of dusty grains, heirloom malts, straw, some grain tannin, assertive grassy bittermess. The half that i did sank very easily, would have liked to had a full pint. Palate is semi sweet, tannin, grainy, decent cask condition.

Cheeky half at the Butchers Hook and Cleaver in Smithfield. Had to be done. Good pour and looks magnificent in the glass. The taste was all rich and quite sweet malts. Maybe a touch too sweet for me? Anyway, I quibble becausethe mouthfeel is fantastic. This is a very good beer and beautifully executed.

Cask at The Iron Duke.in a fancy 180th anniversary mug. It pours clear amber with a fluffy off - white head. The aroma is toasty grains husks, cereal, earthy, woody, toasted nut, muted sweetness, some dried berry, brown bread and hint of sulphur on the back end. The taste is firmly dry, woody bitterness which builds and lingers, earthy, slight resin, toothy, toasty grains, cereal, toasted nut, floral accents, brown bread, biscuit and some spice with a toasty, drying lingering finale. Average body and moderate cask carbonation. Truly old school in flavour profile, but well executed. Probably not for the haze boiiis, but I like it.
