Gravity cask at the Real Ale Classroom, Leicester city centre. Pours a light and slightly insipid brown. Clear with a small clunpy beige/khaki head. Oaky, vinous and slightly spur aroma. Taste is sweet, with that oaky sourness the beat bitters have. Big caramel malt to the fore with physialis and more caramel syrup. Woody notes and bitter hop in the finish. Light body, soft carbonation. Incredible. What a bitter.

Cask at Furnace, Derby. Pours “bitter brown” with a small off-white head and good lacing. Malts are the mainstay of the aroma, plus some general nuttiness. In the mouth it has a slightly watery texture, with malts again to the fore along with caramel and hints of toffee and woody hops. Finish is somewhat more bitter. This is reasonable.
