I do not normally drink beer before nine in the morning, but. Pint of this at Stanstead Airport with a Bacon Butty in the Wetherspoons before our flight woke me up nicely. Hand-pulled into a UK sleeve it has a pleasant looking mahogany body with a cream coloured topping. Malts all the way here, nutty notes along with semi-sweet molasses in both the nose and taste. Very similar to the bottle variety, but better in cask form.

Cask from Prince Albert, Ely. Light to mid-brown. Translucent. Mild smell of biscuit and some sort of nutmeggy spice. Lovely taste actually. Malty with a fruity bittersweet, and a slight sour cherry aftertaste. Worth a try at least.

Served on cask into a Green King pint glass at the Wheatsheaf, Frimley Green (A GK tied house) Jan ’12. Red to mid brown in colour with a small white head that was retained throughout drinking. No real strong smells coming out of the glass other that a sweetish malt aroma. Not the most exciting of beers in taste. Malt flavour, little bitterness, no hop notes present, a slightly sweet taste in the mouth with a slightly sour aftertaste, very subtle in this respect though! Mouthfeel was OK - watery without real body or substance, but I’ve had worse in this respect. Had that standard GK flavour!
