Cask at the Duke of St Albans, Highgate on 7th October 2025. Clear, rich dark coppery brown with shallow, yellowy white foam and scant lacing. Mild maltiness in aroma. Richly fruity in-mouth with berries on a strong malt substructure. Some earthy pungency and a few grasses make for a glorious blend. Earthy malt finish. Medium bodied with a velvet smooth mouthfeel.
gave a cheers!

Perfekt tappet fra cask på The Royal Oak i Luxborough, sammen med Steven: klar kobbergylden med nydelig skumkrone som holder følge helt ned til siste dråpe. Fruktig aroma og silkemyk maltsmak med urter, skogbunn og mild citrus. Saftig og slank på samme tid, og den nydelige ettersmaken gjør oss nesten lyriske.

Cask at Little Man, Wettenhall (Cheshire – not listed in RateBeer). Pours a bright golden amber with a medium sized off-white head. Malts to the fore in the aroma with some fruity hints. In the mouth it is sweet with malts dominant, plus a sprinkling of traditional hops and traces of autumn fruits. This is a decent old school bitter.
