This near blood red ale is full of biscuit malt flavours with a balanced bittersweet finish. A chillingly perfect complement for pub-goers during the October festivities.

Cask at The Bucket Of Blood, Phillack. Nice best bitter smell with notes of apple. Mahogany look. Not that much flavour but light and fresh.

Cask at the Cherry Tree Inn, Woodbridge. Pours a red/maroon colour (very appropriate for the name) with virtually no head. Aroma of caramel, malt, and fruit. Quite high sweetness, light bitterness. Medium body, sticky texture, very soft carbonation. Quite tasty.

Cask@Charlies Bar, Copenhagen - Amber to sienna red pour with good white head and lacing. Aroma and taste is toasty malty, some herbal and twiggy hoppy nuances, some spicy hoppy bite forwards the finish. Not bad. ---Sent via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Cask, at the Wharf, Aalborg. A clear amber colored beer with a minimal sized off-white head. The aroma is very rounded, with some grapefruit, oranges and a good dash of caramel malts. It’s soft and smooth on the palate quite dry. Caramel malts and some roasted notes, with grapefruit and some clementines, and a soft bitterness. Lasting fruity finish with a nice malty touch and some bitterness. Quite nice this one. Easy drinkable too. 141026

Pump at The Bucket of Blood in Hayle. Reddish-brown ale with little head. Not the best kept on my visit, bland biscuit notes.

On gravity at Swindon Beer Festival, 25/10/2012. Deep copper with a slight, off-white head. Grainy, spicy malts, with some sweetish citrus fruit, grassy hops and lingering, bitter finish. Good.
