Cast at The Orange Tree, Chelmsford. Pours almost black without too much head, hints of burnt chocolate/coffee. Good medium-full body. Enjoyable, without being sensational.

Cask at the Happy Man, Englefield Green - 17/08/12. Clear golden with a minimal white head. Hops, citrus and grass on the nose. Sweet malt, grass, earhty hop tones in the taste, quite farmy. Lightish body, fairly wet, but worked well for this beer resulting in a refreshing crisp finish.

Cask@GBBF2012. Rubyish amber colour, small slightly off-white head. Aroma is fruity, wooden, floral and also has some mild grassy and wooden notes. Flavour is rather similar with some mild syrupy notes. Wellbalanced.

Cask at the Claret. It pours pale golden yellow, with a thin foamy white head. The nose is cheddar cheese, hints of sulphur and some grass. The taste is lemony soap, zesty, grass, touch of pepper and leaf, with a very dry finish. Thinnish body and soft carbonation. Very so-so.

Bottle: Pale golden, hazy, small white foamy layer, perfumed grainy nose with very well hidden hoppy traces; tart bitter flavour, light bodied and harsh; short bitter-fruity finish. Oh no, they should better keep on brewing Oyster Stout…
