Cask conditioned at the Alexandra Hotel ("The Alex"), Derby. Copper coloured, moderate malty and caramel aroma. This is a malty "bitter" in the Welsh style, i.e. with very little actual bitterness, just some dusty hops in the finish. A slight acidity keeps it from being too sweet.

Cask. Slightly sour aroma. Flavour is refreshing with a hint of sourness. Slightly creamy mouthfeel. Aftertaste has OK bitterness. Nothing special, but a very good session beer.

Cask. Fruity aroma. Almost black colour, light brown head. Flavour is slightly fruity with a hint of liquorice and salt. Nice roasted aftertaste. Slightly watery, easily drinkable. Some might find it boring, but it is not bad for its ABV. The first cask ale I ever learned to enjoy.

Cask. Fruity aroma with some cinnamon. Reddish golden colour with creamy white head. Flavour is slightly sweet, at first bitter, then turns into cinnamon. Aftertaste has a slightly harsh bitterness.

[Cask at Charlie’s Bar, Copenhagen] A hazy amber beer with a small white head. The aroma is very spicy with notes of cinnamon and "brun-kager". The flavor is extremely spicy with cinnamon and rose-water standing out. The end is dry woody.

Faint roasted nutty nose. Even though it has low alcohol, I found the alcohol heat came through enough to spoil it for me.
