Cask at the Euston Tap. Clear auburn pour with a light film. Bready malt aroma, lightly toasted. Doughy bread flavor with faint toast, caramel, plum, light earth bitters, but really light. Light to medium in body with fine carbonation. Malty finish, some sugary caramel. Nothing special but totally drinkable.

Bottle. Pours a rich, clear amber with a medium, white head. Decent malt aroma, with some caramel and hazelnut. Sweet, with brown sugar, toffee, light bread and caramel, but only faint, earthy bitters. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet finish, with plenty more caramel maltiness, and a bit more hops. I liked this very much.

The aroma is earthy and a bit caramelly. The flavour is mostly caramelly, with a mild bitterness. A fairly uneventful bitter.
