Cask conditioned at the Spread Eagle, London. Smoother and less bitter than the canned version. Aroma and flavour have strong elements of english malt vinegar, but are not really acidic. Maybe the cask was a bit "over the hilltop"?

Clear copper color, medium off-white head. Aroma is weak of some hops and malt. Clean bitter taste, some malt, bit sweet. Bit sticky palate.

Amber color. Steady creamy off-white head, lace. Dry hoppy, herbal, caramel aroma. Balanced medium-bodied bitter. Interesting woody aroma, which dominates aftertaste.

Hand-pulled cask at the Bag O' Nails pub near Buckingham Palace in London. Amber/brown color with a medium thin beige head that did not last long. Thin coating of lace throughout the glass. Subtle malt and caramel in the nose. Medium-bodied and smooth like glass with a woody character. Flavors of dark fruit, malt and hops. The finish is smooth and rather creamy. I liked this one pretty well.
