Bottle, 55 deg F. English nonic pint glass. Deep garnet with full foaming beige head. Aromatic cocoa, light roasted malt, pecan pie. Nice. Soft mouthfeel, caramelly sweet but well restrained by a moderate hoppy finish. Light palate and finish. Lingering dry chocolate malt in the aftertaste. A very nice English style session brown ale, really really nice.

(cask, Denver) Hazy peach, Slim, but dense white head, stable. Nose with slight hops, estery and yeasty. Too sweet for an IPA - even an English cask one, let alone USA. Slight fruity flavour, bit of orange, bit of banana. Palate is hoppier - but again not enough. Just too hoppy for babyfood. Medium-bodied. Wouldn't cut much wood with Camra - or with SFPBFW, I'm afraid.

(draught, Denver RB) Pale amber, slight haze. Virtually no head to speak of. Nice hoppy nose, not much else. Maybe a touch of lemon balm. Light, lemony ale. Main taste & palate are quite sweet, unremarkable. Light-bodied. Slightly cloying finish. Pff... if one's stuck for choice, maybe?
