Cask. Nice fruity malts. Not too deep, hints of grain, sessionable, but fresh malty. Round but not too deep.

Cask at the Wilmington, Finsbury, London. Pours copper brown with a lasting and quite firm off white head. Aroma of malt, hop, caramel and fruit/mild spice. Medium sweetness, light bitterness. Medium body, slight sticky texture, soft carbonation. Finish has a malty, slightly sour and somewhat dry feel. A decent pint overall.

Cask handpull. Mostly clear amber coloured pour with a lasting off white creamy top. Aroma is nutty, raisin bread, bit of staling, dried apple. Flavour is composed of nutty light toffied malts, raisin and dried apples, little dishwater. Some rough grains in the finish. Palate is medium sweet, moderate cask condition. OK bitter but pretty boring.

Bottle: Light reddish-amber coloured, almost clear, creamy and stable off-White head; caramelly and fruity nose; light bitter-sweet flavour, light bodied, as well; more bitterness detectable in the all in all dark-malty and fruity finish. Nothing wrong with it, just a bit boring...
