Cask @ The Three Fishes, Shrewsbury. Pours clear amber, small off-white head. Aroma bears an alluring sweetness, continuing to taste with caramel providing the bulk of its character. Smooth on the palate, with a soft fruitiness. Decent.

Cask at the Cunning Man, Burghfield, Berks. Murky orange-brown, small white head. Toffee and caramel are the main flavours here, with fruit in the background (apple and pear?) and a mild earthy bitterness in the finish. On the sweet side. Certainly better than the pasteurised-to-death bottled version; unremarkable but actually pretty drinkable.
