Cask at Captain Cooks Östersund. What a delight it was to drink 6 pints of this....the quiz master needs his lubricant. No bloated feeling, no powerful tastes, but tasty enough to want more. Solid ale! --- Cask at Royal William IV, Lincoln. Only one this time. Easy going deep Caramel bitter. 3.3 to 3.2 (4/4/23). --- Cask at Captain Cooks, Östersund. I found this all rather bland and onlg saved by this funky geuze like aroma that was lingering heavily. 3.2 to 3.1.

Cask pint @ The Armoury. Pours relatively clear amber, medium off-white colour of foam, though perhaps a bit too big. Light toffee nose. Taste brings gentle toffee. Light stale notes. Butterscotch. Kind of fine, seems to be in delicate condition. Surprised I've never had it.

Cask @Luppolo Station in Rome-Italy. Amber-Orange clear and bright pour with a regular and compact ivory foam. Nose: earthy, slightly smoky and a bit woody, grassy too. Mouth: easy clean malty, soft carbonation, biscuity and quite bitter. Oily hoppy, clean body a bit session-led.
