Cask at Standing Order, Derby. Pours a dark reddish-brown with a small foamy cream head and good lacing. There’s malts and nuts in the aroma. Malts again to the fore in the mouth, alongside dark fruits. It’s fairly sweet overall but with some underlying bitterness and smoky hints. Later on humbugs and milky coffee come into the equation too, leading to some dryness in the finish. This is decent.

Cask at Picture House, Stafford. Pours a dark chocolate brown with a small foamy off-white head and good lacing. There’s honey and fruit in the nose, plus suggestions of yeast. It the mouth it is slightly sweet with as creamy texture with flavours of malts, toffee and autumn fruits plus hints of liquorice and a dollop of alcoholic strength. Finish is bitter and sticky. It’s OK, but a bit strange.
