Hand-pulled pint in the beer garden of the Bridge End Inn, Ruabon on 31st August 2024. Lovely looking beer, clean and clear mahogany colour, off-white crown. I really like this style of bitter, the maltiness dominates the aroma and taste, the Welsh breweries do it so well and my sweet tooth loves them.

Cask at the Royal Oak, Andoversford, 14/03/20. Deep chestnut brown topped with a lasting beige head. Nose is biscuit malts, dates, toffee, brown sugar dusting. Taste comprises dried fruits, hint of tobacco, red berry dusting, toffee, dates. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, light drying close with a mellow bitter edge. Decent flavoursome bitter and in good nick.

(Cask at Gallow's Bird Real Ale Festival 2020) The beer poured deep mahogany coloured and clear. Its head was small and white. Aroma had malts, toffee and caramel. Palate was medium bodied with low carbonation. Flavours were toasted malts, earth, toffee, caramel and bitterness. Aftertaste was malty, sweet and bitter. A beer leaning heavily on the sweet side but fortunately not too much. The toasted malts restored some of the balance.

Cask at the Royal Oak, Saundersfoot. Amber-brown with a thick white head and a moderate fizz. Roasty malts, chocolate, a little burnt caramel, maybe some nuts? Flavours are a bit on the light side but it’s ok.

500ml bottle from Newport Food Festival. A delicious brown ale with an intense malty taste and hints of fruit cake and mild chocolate. Great stuff.

Deep golden brown in colour and has a delightfully smoked taste despite an aroma that doesn’t suggests this. It’s also slightly sweet.

Cask-conditioned at the Seven Stars, Bristol 04/05/10. Deep copper in colour with a slight, off-white head. Sweet, caramel and powdered chocolate aroma. Flavour was more of the same with a short, bitter finish. Ok.
