0.5 l bottle from 'Craft Bier Bude', best before July 2024. Clear, deep amber with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, beige head. Sweetish, slightly malty, moderately fruity aroma of caramel, plum, black tea and marmalade. Gently sweet, moderately bitter, malty, slightly fruity and a little yeasty aroma of caramel, marmalade, black tea, plum and light iron, followed by a short, quite bitter, slightly dry finish. Medium body, gently effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Average bitter, not overly outspoken or aromatic, just drinkable.

Pint on tap at Pig and Whistle, Brisbane. Not cask of course. Ruby red/brown beer with a thin white head that dissipates. Smoked caramel nose. Slight zing, taste of liquorice, touch of treacle. Seems to be highly carbonated. Bitter hop finish. Just ordinary, I think it's served too cold and overgassed.

Keg. Nose is chocolate ice-cream, vanilla, wafer, praline, light coffee. Taste is milk chocolate, wafer chocolate ice cream, slight fruityness, praline, and a dry filter coffee. Thin. More chocolate than coffee to me it's ok but to sweet. Edit. After a quarter of a pint this is a cloying queezy mess.

Cask at Hogarths, Stafford (not yet listed on RateBeer). Pours “bitter brown” with a medium sized off-white head and good lacing. There’s traditional hops in the aroma, plus some fruity hints. Old school hops again in the mouth alongside malts, nuts and autumn fruits. Later on some underlying caramel can be detected, plus hints of spices. Finish is somewhat sweet. This isn’t the most exciting beer in the world, but it’s the epitome of what a traditional bitter should be like – it looks and tastes like beer !
