Cask handpull at Ship & Mitre, Liverpool. Clear copper coloour with disappearing white head. Very perfumed. Pear drops all over it. Bit sweet in the mouth which carries through. Fruit is quite entertaining. Drying hop kicks in on end. Perfumed element is a bit much too be honest

Cask handpull Ship & Mitre Liverpool. Black beer, touches of ruby, thickish dark beige head. Not a huge aroma. Some coffee. Fine in mouth, some grain. Finish has a bit of a juicy feel, some cherry. Just not enough flavour

[Cask at GBBF 2005] A dark orange beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet with light notes of both fruit, flowers, and hops. The flavor is sweet but boring with notes of flowers and caramel, and a thin body.

Cask handpull at County Hotel JDW Ashford. Chestnut with thin beige head. I must of had a better pint than chris and mungo. This had lots of toffee and stilton on th e aroma which I admit is an odd combination, but it worked here. Choc malts and buttery toffee in flavour. Smooth in mouth with some earthy hop on the grainy finish. Toffee is rather dangerously moreish and I would have had anothe r if the Oakham Bishop’s Farewell wasn’t in such fine form. Which it was.

Cask handpull at Market Porter. Black, thin disappearing head. Not a lot of aroa on this, some grainyness in mouth, touch sour bit of heat from alcohol. Some bitterness and black dark choc. in fact I quite like the bitter dark choc on the end and the alcohol gives it body

[Cask at The Castle, London] A pale orange beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of caramel, mixed with lesser hoppy notes. The flavor is very sweet - too sweet to be good IMO - it contains notes of caramel as well as hints of metal.
