Cask at the Fish Hotel, Buttermere. Chestnut-hued with a cream-coloured head. Caramel at first with a blackcurrant fruitiness coming through. Not bad- I do prefer darker-hued bitters like this; far too many bitters are too pale these days.

Cask, half pint at the excellent Roscoe Head. Crystal clear, dark brown body. Tiny layer blanketing the glassware. Mild, roasted malty aroma, semi sweet. Roasted malty taste with nuts and caramel added by fruity hops. Smooth bitter ending. A good, low alcohol, bitter (Liverpool, 07.04.2013).

Cask: Deep golden, smaller white fluffy head; "woody" hops and a vinous fruitiness in the nose, a bit "corky", too; dryish bitter-sweet flavour, light to medium bodied; the same flavours dominate the dry bitter-sweet flavours. O.K., nothing to complain.....

Cask at the Green Lodge, Hoylake. A dark brown affair with a mid sized creamy tan head. Not much in the nose. Malt predominating throughout the flavour with some vague dark fruit lurking. Pretty uninspiring. Not especially offensive, just tedious.

Cask @ GBBF 2009. Pours a clear amber color with a small off-white head. Has a slightly roasteed malty caramel aroma. Fruity malty caramel flavor with some weak hoppy hints. Has a fruity malty caramel finish with some bitterness in the aftertaste.

Cask at GBBF 2009 ... copper ... light hop nose ... dull fruity hop ... musty and boring.

Cask handpull at The Lion Tavern, Liverpool. Deep chestnut colour with lasting beige head. Nutty malty bitter with some sweet date fruit later in the palate. Faint malt aroma. Soft in mouth. Bit of hop on end. Decent session bitter, light of character, but with enough flavour to make it suppable.
