Cask at the Cutler’s Arms, Rotherham. Impenetrable black with a beige head. A bit of liquorice but otherwise the scent is muted. Dry bitter taste with a hint of berry sweetness share the stage with an odd plastic note. Slightly sour finish. Not bad, it grows on me... it almost tastes like a cask Guinness with added sweetness.

Cask at Three Tuns Dronfield - Deep jet black to ruby body, thick white top - classic looking. Nose is burnt coal, coffee, nuts and dark chocolate. Taste is bitter at first, but soon smooths down with a chocolatey coffee-ness. Very nice indeed.
