Gravity cask at the Rake - Borough Market, London. Pours clear amber with a modest, frothy white head. The nose has dried fruits, day-old bread and light wood. Medium sweet flavor with restrained leafy bitterness, dried and lightly leathery fruits. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Lightly warming on the finish with more leathery berries, dry and bitter wood, faint bitter leaves and berry skins. Not bad. Fairly dynamic.

The Rake. Wooden Cask. Clear deep red - amber beer, not much of a head. Lovely nose of sherry, port and toffee. Light semi dry palate. Taste follows the nose largely - there are a lot of esters here, making for a slight paint vibe, too much really. Touch of dried fruits and spice. Dry finish. Very interesting.
