Cask at The Parcel Yard. Pours dark amber with a transient beige head. Aroma of floral and fruit. Med body. Flavor is light caramel with floral and something suggesting green berry. I t doesn’t finish very bitter, tho it’s bitter. Brought well hopped barleywine to mind. With time there’s a suggestion of chocolate.

Cask @ Snow Goose, Inverness
Appearance - Amber, off white head, hazy
Aroma - Fruity malt, slight peppery hop, not much on the nose.
Taste - Caramel, fruity malt, toffee, slight roasted malt, yeast, more complex than usual
Palate - Intially malty sweet finish with a slight layer of bitterness then bitter with a sour note.
Overall - Not really a bitter, as not much bitterness. Taste is good, but for the sour note in the finish.

As Hurns Old Style Bitter. A hazy dark orange beer with a huge orange head. The aroma is sweet with a grassy hop note as well as notes of fruit, and light notes of diacethyl. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel as well as some fruit, leading to a dry bitter end, that also has hints of metal.
