Cask at the Old Fountain during my long day in the Big Smoke with Kenny. Pours clear, deep gold with a tight, off-white cream head. Lightly toasted, bready malts in the nose. Light to medium sweet flavor with toasty brown bread, light earth and brown sugar. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Good condition. Moderate bitter toasted bread to finish, light dry toffee. Good stuff.

Bottle from Cotteridge Wines, Birmingham. Poured a dark chesnut brown with a thin off-white head. The aroma is crisp, clean and a little spicy. The flavour is medium bitter, smooth with some dry pepperness on the palate. The finish was weak and a little watery though. Not a classic.

Old Fountain. Clear amber beer, little pale tan head. Sweetish malt with perhaps a touch of rye spice. Light dried fruit hops. Light dry finish. Easy going.
