Cask @ Montgomery's Tower. Pours hazy chestnut brown. Aroma has a pleasant malt-led caramel sweetness. Taste follows similar ground, pillowy soft, sweet, nice nutty warmth. Tasty.

Cask @ Ship & Mitre, Liverpool. Copper with a small creamy head. Bitter in character, but not particularly high in bitterness. It’s light sweet malts are dominant and it’s a very palatable ale for its style with a sugary nose.
