Cask at Great British Beer Festival 2013. Poured a black colour with a thick, dense tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, liquorice and some ryebread. Slightly more watery mouth feel than I was hoping for. Dark fruit flavours with molasses and plain chocolate. Finishes with burnt malt, hop resin and sweetened coffee.

50cl bottle from the Sainsbury’s Beer Hunt 2013 range. Bright amber with a ring of white head; floral aroma; jammy taste with some green hops and a touch of orange marmalade; then a malty finish. I don’t know where the Cascade hops went - but they didn’t make it into this bottle.

Pigs Ear. The Long Good Friday teamed up with ChrisO. Hazy gold beer, small but tidy white head. Palate is light and dry, slightly crisp. Fresh malt, indeed - a little lagerish. Mild minerals. Okay mild citrus hops. A little orange and tangerine. Dry finish. Semi crisp. Not bad - one of the better cask lagers I’ve had.

Pigs Ear. The Long Good Friday teamed up with ChrisO. Pretty hazy amber beer, no real head. Light dry palate. Low carbonation. Dry malt, slightly sweet. Dried fruit hops. Dry finish. Crushingly ordinary and too dry.

On gravity at the Christmas Beer Festival, The Volunteer, Bristol 15/12/2012. Straw coloured with a decent, white head. Light hay, apricot and grassy hop aroma. Easy drinking, with cereal malts, more fruit and a decent, bitter finish. Fine.

Cask-conditioned at the South Wales Beeriodical, the Seven Stars, Bristol 8/11/2012. Amber with a slight, off-white head. Well balanced best bitter, with a touch of hedgerow fruit, crisp cereal malts and a lingering, bitter finish. Very good.
