Fra cask på Charlies Bar, nov-12: Minner fra mitt år i London strømmer på - fargen, lukten, smaken og engelsk pubstemning. Perfekt temperert. Ruddles på flaske og fra håndpumpe gjorde store inngrep i min studentlommebok, og ikke uten grunn - dette er en meget god session beer. Bring it on!

Small coarseish offwhite head. Clear deep brownish body. Dusty caramelly nutty aroma with syrupy wooden notes. Dry-sweet dusty wooden caramelly taste with nutty earthy notes. Mild, smooth mouthfeel. Mid-bodied. Dry-sweet, almost bitter, dusty caramelly wooden aftertaste with oily strawy toffee notes. Lovely! Drinkable, harmonic, and subtle. (0.5l cask at Bishops Arms, Copenhagen.)

Cask at BP Dupont. Orange-brown. Filtered/fined. Soapy, frothy head. Fishy English aroma. Caramel toffee tones, no C02, all cask feel. Tastes refreshingly English but rather boring and lacking in the hop department. Watery, awkward caramel/toffee tones. Unexceptional.

Cask at Churchkey. Sparkler used. Reminds me of the days I lived almost in the shadow of the brewery, in Barton Mills, not far from Bury. Clear golden color, thick white head (that’s the sparkler at work). Aroma of lemon peel and citrus. Sweet start, followed by a soft bitterness with a bit of lemon peel. Very pleasant stuff, a perfect session beer.

Cask at the Wharf. A dark amber beer, some white bubbles on top. Clear body. The aroma is bready with a fruity touch. Some cider like notes. The flavor is bready with a cider like sourness. Quite dry. Some bitterness. A rather strange one, at least the cider like notes. 110417
