Cask at Moon under Water, Wolverhampton. Malts and a general sweetness in the pleasant aroma. Pours reddish amber with a small foamy off-white head and good lacing. Sweet malts again initially in the mouth, together with some berry fruits. After a while traditional hops start to take over with a caramel base and some traces of nuts. Finish is quite dry and bitter. This is a pretty good traditional bitter that punches well above its weight.

Cask at Archie's. It pours clear brown with a decent fluffy white head. The aroma is twiggy, sweet, perfumed, dried fruits, raisin, caramel, toffee, fruit loaf and nut. The taste is bitter - sweet, toffee, caramel, nutty, twiggy, dried fruits, raisin, sultana, fruit loaf, earth and leather with a dry finish. Medium body and lively carbonation. Rounded and moreish. Actually pretty nice.
