Cask at the White Horse, somewhere in Kent. Deep orange-brown. Caramel malt nose, light toffee, slightly earthy. Nicely balanced flavor, slight tang, caramel, very bitter and crisp. Nice stuff.

[cask at Warwick Arms, Reading] Pours chestnut red with a moderate creamy white head. Very slight carbonation - about the right amount for the beer. A syrupy texture and flavour - like over-ripe apples and caramel - overlays a dirty bitter farmyard hop finish. Not great.

Cask, The Cheshire Cheese, Wallasey. Brown with an off white head. Vague hop in the aroma. Slightly sweet malty flavour. Not much in the finish. A rather drab affair.

Half pint handpulled from cask at the great Turf Tavern in Oxford. Mahogany body colour with almost lack of head. Moderate hoppy smell followed by a taste that brings caramel malts and hop bitterness towards the finish. Dry ending (celebrating the first day of our conference on early modern witchcraft 14.03.2008).

Cask conditioned at The Barony Bar, Edinburgh. Amber to copper coloured beer, creamy head. Oaky / woody aroma, notes of farmhouse and cellar. The flavour is also woody and moderately malty, fairly dry. Dusty hops in the finish.

Cask handpull at Drum Inn, Stanford North. This was a really great session bitter. I could easily have necked it all night. It had the right balance and blend of yeast, malt and hops. Some character from the yeast showed through too. And it was in great, great condition. The landlord said it had only just come on.

Cask at the Old Red Lion (Holborn). Slightly woody malt aroma. Deep amber color with an off-white head that laces. Starts a bit woody, astringent, decently bitter. The flavor expands with time, not changing, just more.
