Half at Velvet Coaster. Medium amber with creamy head. Good or not, cask ales pour like a dream and look amazing. Malty aroma and taste, going good until some weird candy metallic notes come in towards the end. A stage bitter

Pint on tap at Calvert's Court, Stockport. Amber beer with solid thin white head. Light aroma of smoke and hops. Zero carbonation. Laces well. Light body. Taste is bitter with bitter smoky finish. Standard English bitter, easy to drink.

Bottle, 0.50l. Aroma is fruity, grassy, grainy, caramelly and dusty. Pours clear brown amber with thin creamy off-white head and average sparkling appearance. Taste starts with medium sweet caramel, following is citrussy, grassy, papery and chalky, while finish is pretty bitter. Light to medium body, slick texture and lively carbonation in palate. Almost the worst, not the best...
