Cask at Bow Bar. Pours clear deep amber. Aroma is slight caramel and pine needles, also rose petals. Body is full but not heavy, rather sweetly painted over background bitterness. Still malt forward with toasted flavours, all gentle and smooth. Usually characteristics I rather don't like, but here they harmonise perfectly. Dryish palate, but actually developing the full flavour profile only there. Outstanding for a bitter!

Cask at many pubs. Clear amber/brown body with a thin beige head. Faint lacing. Aroma of caramel and stewed tea. Flavour of woody malt and a hint of strawberry. Thin to medium body with a slick texture. Itβs a nice, sweet, beery beer.

8th July 2017: cask pint in Diggers, Edinburgh. Lovely looking beer, deep amber/brown bodied, full foaming white head. Malts rule the nose and taste but the hops play their part to nicely balance out the sweetness with a good bitterness and light fruitiness in the taste. Very, very drinkable for guys like me with a sweet tooth.

On cask at Three Tuns, Dronfield - Mahogany body under a low, off-white lacing head. Weak aroma of fruit-like malts. Plain malty initial taste, becoming more fruity and bitter towards the ending. Not too bad.

Cask at Haymarket. Pours clear brown with a thin off-white head. Aromas of toffee, raisins, caramel. Taste is more of the same. Gentle fruits come through, light, very light bitterness at the end. Mostly sweet raisins though. Good 80/.

Cask at PoW. It pours deep ruby with a small beige head. The nose is jammy, dark fruit, berry and candy. The taste is bitter-sweet, dark fruit, berry, wood, earth, wood and boiled sweets with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Well rounded and rather drinkable. Decent.
