Cask at Ealing Beer Fest 25. So the aroma is of butter cream and after a warning from bar staff this certainly doesn't taste like one of my favourite cakes. Big and sweet messy flavour. Dark brown.. Thin foamy off-white head. Suprisinly thing. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long finish. Does not meet specification.

Keg draught at Beerkat, Ealing. Dark brown, fairly opaque with a ring of khaki head and some spotty lacing. Aroma oozes marzipan, with some light cherry jam character. Sweet taste, loads more marzipan here. Maybe a little unbalanced lactose-y but still delicious. Light nutty bitterness in the finish. Medium body with slightly more intense carbonation than I'd expected. Love this.
