Cask at the Blue Lion, Holborn. Pours clear dark amber with a small bubbly off-white head. Aroma of caramel, fruit, malt and hop. Moderate sweetness, medium bitterness. Towards medium body, slight oily and watery texture, soft carbonation. Bitter finish. Some years since I had this and remember it to have been better.

Cask, half pint at Goat Tavern, London. Clear deep amber color with thin creamy off-white head and average sparkling appearance. Aroma of caramel, bread and grassy and floral hops. Taste starts with light sweet caramel and toffee, follows by bready notes and mild fruity acidity and light bitter finish. Medium body, oily texture and soft carbonation in palate. Smooth and drinkable...

In cask @ Heathrow Terminal 5. Great smooth beginning. Hints of nuts and malty ale. Round and refreshing, not much bitterness, round, dry with caramel and nuts and a nice bitter ale finish!
