Cask at The Trigger Pond, Bucknell, Nr Bicester, Oxon, 18-12-09 Pours amber with a white head, good clarity. Some dark sugar flavour comes through, its got a deep sweet fruitiness, little bit of bitterness, but touch too sweet maybe, its fine but seems a bit of a lazy effort. A5 A4 F6 P3 Ov11 2.9

Cask, Doctor Duncans, Liverpool. Dark copper colour with a thin off white head. Slight rum aroma with caramel malt and brown sugar notes. Similar gig in the flavour, with the rum lurking pretty unobtrusively in the background. In pretty good nick, and as a rum lover I quite enjoyed this.
