Bjørnøy-Sandnes t/r med livgivende suppestasjon på Melkebaren! Første til venstre på planken, og fra cask: lett uklar kobbergylden med fint skum som varer. Fruktig og maltrik med mild bitterhet, kjeks og urter. En nydelig ESB med pøsekvalitet.

Cask at Charlies. Chestnut reddish. Cream, roasted, malt, walk in the woods. Fluffy light and soft, then a decent bitterness, and then creamy. There are rules for beer - and the first rule is: "if there is cask available then yes". Wait, maybe that was the second rule, with the first "if nitro is available then yes". I am confused and need to read the rule book again. But anyway, this is good.

[Cask at the Petwood Hotel, Woodhall Spa, the officer’s mess used by 617 Squadron at the time of the Dambuster raid.] An attractive bronze coloured pour with a thick cream coloured head; malty aroma; caramel malt taste, with an English hop bitterness. An old fashioned best bitter, and the perfect way to remember the bravery of the squadron.
