Handpull cask at the Old Horse, Leicester. Brownish red and very translucent with a thin and fairly tight khaki head. Malty, metallic and slightly smoky aroma. Sweetish smoky taste followed by a strange sourness that persists to the finish. Some resinous malt with strong toffee notes in the aftertaste. It isn't the most amazing beer. There's character somewhere but it takes some digging.

[Cask at the Alehouse, Reading.] A golden amber pour with a thin cream coloured head; bready aroma; light rye taste with a touch of citrus; then a vegetal bitterness with a little chocolate before a dry rye finish. A pleasant mix of flavours.
