Cask at the Old Fountain, London. Clear, rich gold pour with a strong, foamy head. Floral hops in the nose with grass and some light toast malts. Quite a bitter flavor, marked by mild citrus, grass, metal and strawe, with light, bready malts. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Finishes with earthy hops, green grass, canteloupe or melon, slight toast. Hops really clinging to my throat. Decent.

Cask at the White Lion, Aldershot. Amber with a thin white head that leaves lots of lacing on the glass; fresh hoppy aroma with a touch of honey; big hoppy flavour with some grapefruit and honey, the texture is soft and oily; the finish continues the hoppy theme and is slightly spicy. Very pleasant and very moreish.

(Cask at Oliver Twist, Stockholm) Dark ruby colour with brief, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with dark fruit, chocolate and lots of black coffee. Malty, roasted taste with notes of dark fruit, black coffee, chocolate, prunes, dark rye bread and a slightly bittersweet finish. More than medium body. Nice stout, and highly drinkable for its strength.

Gravity cask at the Bree Louise. Pours a clear, dark copper with no head. Holds a malty, fruity aroma with ripened plums, cherries and raisins. Really has a great flavor, better than I expected. Tons of fruit, like those in the nose plus grapes and oranges, with subtle bread notes and faint, citrusy and leafy hops. Medium to full in body with just the slightest hint of carbonation. Finishes medium sweet with slight warmth, lots of fruits, mild stickiness, mild alcohol. Overall a tasty beer.

Cask at the Market Porter. Ruby-black pour with a small, off-white head. Rich chocolate syrup and and charred malts in the nose. Medium sweet flavor with lots of tar, tobacco, baking cocoa and mild, leafy bitterness. Light to medium in body with fine carbonation. Dry, fairly chalky finish with more cocoa, burnt wood and scorched leaves. Not bad.
