Cask @ Belfast Beer Festival [141114]
Black, ruby edges, frothy beige head
Aroma of dark fairly sweet caramel, dark toffee, light nose
Taste of mellow roasted malts, dab of dark chocolate, some dry roast, touch of dark fruit, good
Palate - Medium body, a bit thin, soft sweet, dab of bitter roast
Overall - Not as dry and bitter as usual for a dry Irish stout. Quite decent.

Two hand-pulled pints on 1st Nov 2014 in The Pheasant, Wellington Shropshire. Clear light amber body with a white topping. Nice blend of malts and hops, with the light malts just about winning in both the nose and taste. Nothing strong, overpowering or interesting, but a pleasant session ale that will not upset your tastebuds or other senses.

Cask at Roscoe Head, Liverpool. Toasty golden brown. Almost no head. Muted but distinct aroma of Cascadey grapefruit. A bit of grainy malt, almost reminiscent of a Dortmunder. Sweet taste with bitter edges. A bitter finish and aftertaste. A bit of natural carbonation, otherwise weak and unexciting palette. A passable but unremarkable ale.
