Cask gravity at the Watford beer fest 2014. Amber coloured pour with a fleeting white. Aroma is bad sharp apple, stale grains tart fruit, flavour is nurty grains, sharp apple tart berry, some staling. Pretty bad. Palate is sharp tangy berry, medium sweet and low carbonation. Bad.

On cask @ Carters Bar. Appearance - amber/red with a decent head. Nose - toffee, some biscuits. Taste - same again. Overall - one of the many bitters that taste like this - toffee and biscuits with a slightly astringent finish. A decent session beer but nothing special.
