Cask at Queens Head, Stourbridge. Pours golden yellow with a small foamy almost white head and good lacing. The aroma is a mix of malts and floral hops. In the mouth it is sweet and tangy with some hops, and traces of tangerine. Later on it becomes increasingly bitter with a bitter finish. It’s reasonable but not outstanding.

Keg draught at the Ale Wagon, Leicester. Very dark brown, opaque with a small tight beige/khaki head. Big roast malt aroma, with intense coffee grounds character. Taste is gorgeous, just sweet enough with some yeasty umami and flowed up with light hoppy bitterness. Thick body and just enough carbonation to lift it. This is Salopian at their best.

Cask pint @ Salopian, the pub. Clear golden amber, loose white head. Initial sip presents tentle marmalade notes with a touch of orange peel and earthy English hop suggestions.. lightly caramelised malt emerges with a robust bitterness. Bit of an old school pale I suppose, with a teasing glimpse of tropical sweetness to round it off.

Cask at Three Fishes, Shrewsbury. Pours almost black with a small foamy tan head and excellent lacing. The aroma is roasted malts plus good helpings of chocolate and a little vanilla. In the mouth it is sweet and fruity with roasted malts and chocolate coming through strongly. Later on there is some ash and hints of cola, ginger and fruity wine gums leading to a dry and slightly bitter finish. Simply sublime – one of my all time favourite Salopian beers.

Cask pint @ Three Fishes. Pours dark with a large tan collar. Aroma of roasted malt and coffee roast with some chocolate shades. Full bodied with big chocolatey character and a strong roasty side, nicely hoppy with what appears to be pine in the shadows. Excellent big stout. Why can't more breweries produce stuff like this??

Cask @ Pint Pot, Rochdale. Light clear golden with a thick creamy-frothy head. Session strength but not thin, and hoppy with mild floral notes in both aroma and taste.
