Cask @ Cross Keys, Covent Garden, London. Dark clear copper with a small bubbly head. It has some dark berry sweetness to a flattish, uncared for beer on this occasion.

(2017 London) 1 Pint Cask @ Old Coffee House. Darker amber than expected. Nose is overripe almost alcoholic fruit, toffee, spoiled caramel & shag tobacco even. Taste is mild cacao, toffee, sugar, spoiled fruit, shag tobacco, plastic, very messy & confusing, weird but partially agreeable but strange. Spoiled toffee & plastic body.

[3/4/15] Cask at Cross Keys in London. Dark amber. Aroma of malt, toast and some hops. Sweetish malty flavor with a bit of toast and some bitterish hops. Easy-drinking.
