Cask, gravity at The White Horse, Hedgerley, 18th ’Coming of Age’ Beer Festival 29-05-10 Took this one away in a carryout back to the camper. Pours very dark brown peeling away to a lighter brown colour at the edges. This is full of chocolate in the mouth, tangy with a little fruitiness, good beer but its all about the chocolate.

Cask handpull at County Hotel, JDW, Ashford. Copper colour, lasting creamy head. Some fruit and some biscuit in the flavour. Some good toffee. I rather like this, a very decent premium bitter, very good in terms of toffee fruit and biscuit. Decent.

Cask at the Briar Rose (Wetherspoon) Birmingham, UK on 28th December 2009. Gold with a durable white head of foam. IPA-like hoppiness. Citric grapefruit and hempy hop in the main kick with astringent citric finish on a smoothish mouthfeel. Initial taste close to that of some American IPAs I have tasted last summer! Highly flavoursome for 4.4%
