Cask at the brewpub. Aroma is low key - dark fruit. Clear chestnut. Foamy translucent white head provides 50% coverage. A sour tang. Dark berries and caramel malts. But too much sourness for me. Medium bodied. Slick. Average carbonation. Long somewhat astringent finish. An ESB that doesn't deivet for me, just doesn't have the right balance.

22/5/2019. Cask hand pump at the Dove Street Inn Spring Festival, Ipswich. Pours hazy pale brown with a small off-white head. Aroma of malt, chocolate, hop, coffee and biscuit. Moderate sweetness, medium bitterness. Moderate body, slight oily texture, soft to flat combination. Hoppy chocolate finish.

Cask-conditioned at some pub in Sheffield, 2/12/2014. Mahogany in colour, with a slight, off-white, head. Sugary sweetness, followed by plum fruit with a slightly vinous edge, which faded away to a gentle finish. Unusual and drinkable.

Cask at the 2012 Pigs Ear Beer Festival, East London. Copper coloured pour with a white head. Pear drops and caramel aroma. Orchard fruit, caramel and a little chocolate flavour. Fruity finish. Not too bad.
