23/7/2018. Bottle from Wor Local Micropub, Prudhoe. Pours clear dark amber with an off-white head. Aroma of sweet malt, caramel, biscuit, fruit, hint of chocolate and grass. Medium plus sweetness and light to moderate bitterness. Moderate body, slight oily texture, soft carbonation. Quite pleasant.

Cask @ Diggers, Edinburgh [131013]
Caramel brown, clear, dense off white head, some lacing
Aroma of soft sweet caramel malt, bit metallic, overall little on nose
Taste of soft caramel, some toffee, bit nutty, dab of honey, touch of soft roast, bit dull overall and flavour falls flat in the middle.
Palate - Light medium body, smooth but bit watery, fairly sweet palate. FInish as main flavour, bit dry, bitterish slight metallic tail
Overall - Soft malts in here, but generally a bit underflavoured and has some rough edges. It’s not that great overall

Handpulled cask ale, half, at Malt Shovel Inn. Deep dark brown coloured body. Bubbly ring to the rim of the surface. Caramel malts on the nose, hints of herbal hops. Dark, fruit caramel flavours with dusty hops and a touch of basement. Nice bittersweet malty ending. Medium bodied. Pleasing (Edinburgh, pub crawl with mr_h, 09.08.2013).

Cask at the Market Porter, London. Pours amber with a light, white head. Malty caramel in the aroma and flavor. Sweet throughout, lightly bitter. Some mild stickiness in the finish, with further sweet malts, caramel and bread. Decent beer.
