Cask at GBBF 2015. It pours darkest brown with a small light tan head. The nose is soft, rich roast, burnt pine, light liquorice, rocky road, ashy and light spice. The taste is smooth, rich roast, toasty, spice, liquorice, pepper, oily, tar burnt toasty and leather with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Decent stout.

Cask gravity at The Bell Ivychurch. Clear mid brown colour lasting beige head. Malty bitter but with enough hop on the finish to make it interesting. Some fruit loaf from the malts. Good best bitter.

Cask at the Red Lion, Histon. Red brown with a large creamy head. Light yeasty smell, slightly metallic. Slight hints of caramel, cinnamon, bay leaves. A smooth fruity bittersweet taste fades to a tenacious bitter in the back of the throat. Very bitter aftertaste. An odd beer but very drinkable. Nice to see a ’new’ brewery rising from the dead.

Bottle thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - golden with a decent head. Nose - honey, malt and lemon. Taste - more honey than lemon, quite sweet, but decent. Palate - light to medium bodied with a big tangy sweet note and a fairly decent finish. Overall - decent beer.

Bottle shared with AshtonMcCobb. Get to Norfolk Tasting. Pours clear pale gold with a thin white head. Aromas of lemon, butterscotch, cereal grains. Taste is bready sweet, lemon and lime. A blessed relief after the last three beers.

Bottle thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - hazy golden with at least initially a decent head. Nose - lemon and citrus. Sweet malt background. Taste - lemon, honey and malt. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy and slightly tangy texture and a reasonable finish - could do with a bit more hop bitterness though. Overall - inoffensive and solid.

Cask at Maypole, Cambridge. It pours deep amber-brown with a small white head. The nose is wood, orange, grapefruit, candied peel, fruit cake, wood, spice and toffee. The taste is bitter, toasty, brown bread, booze, raisin, fruit, stewed orange, pink grapefruit, wood, resin and hint of smoke with a dry, citric finish. Fulsome body, soft carbonation and viscous mouth-feel. Good depth and rather punchy. Perhaps a bit boozy, but I kind of like it...
