Sample courtesy of Grumbo. Cheers! Aroma of malts, biscuit and caramel. Quite watery but delivers on the slightly bitter finish. Easy to drink.

Cask at the White Hart, Otley, Suffolk. Amber with a small white head. Fruity with a little caramel, a touch of spice and a mild bitterness. A little bland and watery, and very definitely run-of-the-mill. Little to distinguish this from hundreds of other bitters out there.

Cask@Old Fountain. Amber colour, mediumsized beige head. Aroma is caramel malts, fruits and some slightly syrupy notes as well. Flavour is at first very sweet malty, caramelly and also has some nice liquorish notes. In the finish the whole thing goes quite wooden and grassy bitter.
