28/7/2023. Cask at the 33rd Ipswich Beer and Cider Festival. Pours clear golden amber brown with a small bubbly/frothy off-white head. Aroma of orange, citrus, malt, toast, light spice. Moderate sweetness, medium bitterness. Moderate body, soft carbonation. It's fine.

Cask at shrewsbury Arms, Stafford. Pours the classic “bitter brown” with a generous cream head. Nose has aromas of Malt, nuts and grain. Slightly watery in the mouth, but still plenty going on. Quite a lot of fruit flavours, particularly cherrie. Sweet malts too, contrasting with wholebread and toffee. Finish is generally fruity. It’s good, I like it.

[Cask at the Bell, Waltham St Lawrence.] A copper coloured pour with a ring of white head; aroma of toasted whole meal bread; rather thin in the mouth with a burnt caramel taste; and a watery finish with a woody bitterness.

Forever Bury Beer Festival 2018. Clear darker copper coloured ale. There's sweet roasted malts in both aroma and taste with an easy-drinking texture, and a hint of nut.

Handpull cask at the Salmon, Leicester. Dark amber, clear with a wisp of white head. Heavily roast malt, foraged berry and some coffee bean in the aroma. Bittersweet balanced taste with a heavy chewy malt taste balanced by fruity hop character. Simple and competent but not all that exciting.
