Cask (Roebuck JDW, Nottingham) - Amber in colour. Sultanas and banana cake can be detected in both the aroma and the taste, but not much else is going on. I was expecting it to be a bit more sickly and sweet but it is quite nicely balanced.

Appearance: Cloudy amber color with a finger thick off white head. Ok lacing.
Aroma: Banana and malty.
Palate: Medium body. Slightly sweet and a mild bitterness. Soft carbonation.
Taste: Mild banana and caramel malty.
Overall impression: Surprisingly nice and easy drinkable.
Personal stats: Handpull at The Bluecoat in Rotherham, England.

Cask at the Sussex Arms, Twickenham Green - 30/09/12. Clear dark golden verging on amber/brown with a bubbly off-white head. Sour nose, touch of bretts (although I don’t believe they were used on this beer), some toffee. Taste largely follows the nose, sour tones, dark fruit, very slight hint of the banana in a banana/toffee chewy sweet kind of way also a little nutiness and spice. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation with a smooth bitter & sour finish. Interesting beer which I rather liked, although I’m not sure it was intended to come out this way? One that was hard to categorise also. I was tempted to add as spice/herb/veg, but played safe with golden, feel free to amend!
