Gravity cask at the Real Ale Classroom, Leicester. Reddish brown and clear with no head. Woody smell, some turps, some toffee. Tastes sweet with a rounding sour on the finish, along with dogged bittering hop. Flat body. Decent if not particularly remarkable.

GBBF Day 2. Cask. Clear amber beer, no real head. Light and fairly dry palate, reasonable fine carbonation. Twangy caramel malts. Floral bitterness. Light semi dry finish. Bitter linger. Sigh!

Cask at GBBF. It pours clear brown with a small white head. The aroma is sweet, sticky, toffee crisp, oily, earth, Mars bar and brown sugar. The taste is slick, oily, drying, butter, brown bread, toffee, bark, spice, light ash and tannin with a drying finish. Light - medium body and fine carbonation. A fairly standard bitter. Fair enough.

On cask in Cologne 2018. Smooth malty beginning. Easy to drink, round and malty dry with nice smooth malty dry Ale aftertaste. Sessional was and mild. Nice.

Keine Karbonisierung. Wenig bitterer, trocken malziger Beginn. Geringe Würzigkeit, die Bitterkeit steigt an. Okay. 10/8/7/8//7
