Cask @ Secklow Hundred, Milton Keynes. Appearance: a shade lighter than chestnut brown. Big, big, big head (lively barrel)! Aroma of soft malt and fruit mixed with a pleasantly balanced astringency. The taste is nice - a malty sweetness with some bitterness at the end. This is a commendable old-fashioned extra bitter. Nothing too original, but a dependable pint.

Cask at the Plockton Inn, Plockton, 19/10/13. Clear copper golden with a good sized off white head. Nose is bready malt, light fruit, a little thin. Taste comprises bready malt, hint of orange, light fruit notes. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, smooth on the palate, light bitter notes in the fnish. Good feel to this one but lacks a little in flavour. So so bitter.

500ml bottle, shared by Gaute. Deep, dark amber coloured body under a bubbly and lacing off-white head. Malt-fruity nose, mid-sweet. Caramel malts and resin-like hops in the flavour profile, as well as hints of sweet berries. Gentle bittersweet tail. Medium bodied. A well made Brit bitter (Tromsø 24.10.2013).

Bottle split at JF’s, thanks to Tony, 23/08/13. Clear golden amber with a good sized frothy light beige head. Nose is caramel malt, biscuit, toffee. The taste is a little thinner in comparison, tea bags, toffee, malty, light hop presence. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, dry finish with a little hop bitterness. Ok stuff - better than I’d remembered having not had this for a good 5 or more years.

[Bottle that my Dad shared with me - cheers!] Reddish amber with a small off-white head and a light fizz. Mellow fruity berry flavour with a moderate bitterness. Good and tasty especially for a pasteurised beer. My Dad had got a bit confused when he served this & said it was Wells Bombardier, so it may have just tasted good compared to my extremely low expectations for that beer!
