Cask at the Bag of Nails, Bristol on 13th May 2026. Deep ruby brown with shallow, pale beige foam and partial lacing. Pungent roastiness in aroma. Leafy hops and rich roastiness in-mouth and a finish of tangy fruits, harmonious coffees and fine herbs. Medium bodied with a smooth yet engaging texture. Beautifully crafted.

Clear and golden with a frothy white head and a soft cereal malt aroma. Light bodied, lovely citrus hop bitterness with a touch of pine, light cereal malt and a dry bitter finish.

Cask at Pigs Ear. Near clear deep amber brown beer, small bubbly tan head. Smooth palate, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Dark toffee malts, trace of cream, none of it sweet. A mild savoury vibe and some ripe fruits. Light semi dry spicy finish. Solid and flavoursome.

Gravity cask at Lime Kiln, Bristol. Pours black with tan bubbles. Notes of caramel, chocolate & coffee. Medium body with limp carbonation. The curse of gravity cask pours here, it was a bit lifeless. I would expect to give this a higher score had it been served on handpull. Nice flavours though!
