Cask. A whole pint! Hoste Arms, Burnham Market, Norfolk. Clear, deep chestnut brown. Thick and creamy, lasting, beige head. Good looking beer. Nose has steeped vine fruits. Some fruity dark chocolate. Some bonfire toffee. Taste has a lightly astringent, vinous bitterness, but is mostly toffee sweet. Light body. Low carbonation. Tangy fruit to finish.

Cask at GBBF’17, day three, 10/08/17. Light black with a decent tan cap clearing to a swirl. Nose is earthy fruits, cocoa powder, light spice, dark malt. Taste comprises toffee, cocoa powder, tobacco, dried fruits, light spice, plummy notes. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, drying close. Ok but expected a little more from a ’classic’.

Pours a red brown colour with a small light tan head. Aroma is fruit and malt, dark berry and caramel. A sweet malty caramel taste with treacle, smoke and fruit flavours. Medium body, a dry lingering finish with some bitterness at the end.

Hand-pulled cask pint in the ground floor of the Layton Rake (Wetherspoons), Blackpool on 9th Sep 2016. Deep, dark brown with a touch of ruby (in a bright light); on top a beige blanket of tight foam. Dark hedgerow fruits sit alongside a malt laden nose, taste is semi-sweet leading to a more bitter finish, dark berries within the flavours. Made a pleasant change to all the light citrusy flavoured beers I had been drinking earlier in the day.
