Cask at the Star and Garter, Bromley. Gold pour with a white head. Aromas of sweet herb,baked apple, obvious heather. Taste of spice, heather, sultanas, currants. Not had tthis for over 20 years when it was new, exciting and a little daring. Run of the mill these days but back then it challenged the tastebuds! Is Umbel Magna still about? 😊

Cask @ Nightjar, Hebden Bridge. Golden with a creamy head. Mildly spicy with occasional hints of fruit. It's quite smooth giving it a lot of palatability.
