Cask at the Market Porter. It pours darkest brown, with a decent beige head. The nose is mostly roasted malt, as well as smoky bacon and some cheesy hop. The taste is roasted malt, smoke, caramel, cola, bonfire, wood, liquorice and pepper, with a dry, roasty finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. A flavoursome cask stout.

Cask at GBBF 2011, Day 2. This beer really did it for me. Pours dark brown with a bubbly, tan head. Rich cocoa nose, some roasted malt. Delicious flavor, rich and well-rounded dark cocoa, brown sugar, great roastiness. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Light warming finish, light smoke, dark roast, dry mocha. Really great.

Cask @ 3 Judges. Odd. Very odd. Not a Kolsch, not a Golden Ale, maybe a little bit of both. Clear golden colour, thin white head. Nose is grassy, bit of diacetyl, wood polish. Velvety mouthfeeling. Flavour is buttery, grassy, estery, fairly bitter, bit hoppy. Slightly bitter finish.
