RBESG pt 1. Craft Clapham. Cask. Clear dark amber beer, small pale creal colour head. Palate is light and a little dry, only very modest carbonation. Light dry malts with a mild dark character. Mild dried fruits. Light dry finish brings a toffee streak. Okay. Just about keeping its head above average.

Cask at Craft Clapham. It pours deep mahogany brown with a small yellow-white head. The nose is earth, wood, dried fruits, raisin, light caramel, toasty fudge and toffee. The taste is earthy, wood, varnish, leather, dark fruits, caramel, light spice and mild acidity with a rather dry finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Nice depth and interesting flavour profile. Quite nice.
