Cask handpull at The Dispensary, Liverpool. OK I had 2 halves of this, one with the sparkler and one without. The difference was really quite marked. I admit I’m an Outlaw fan, I love what they do, making tasty, intense beers. This one is black with very dark brown edges. Lasting tan head. Blow me down!!! Except you couldn’t blow me down because I have just been fortified by the body of this beer, which is excellent. That’s incredible. I don’t want to drink any more because I don’t want to be wrong and I don’t want to finish it. The roasted coffee espresso aroma is just about the best I’ve had. This was the beer of the weekend. 40 beers in and this is head and shoulders above everything else. The aroma is like putting your nose in a packet of mocha coffee beans. Finish is intense espresso/dark choc dryness. That is amazing. The finish is like the mose intense choc/coffee experience of my life. The only beer this weekend that has made me go wide eyed stare. Then I had a half without the sparkler and you know what, it wasn’t as good. A bit more watery than with the sparkler, but the finish is just as good. Roast malt and blackcurrant. I guess there must be some Willamette hops in here for the blackcurrant and subtle herby hop. So with a sparkler a 4.5/5, without a 4.3/5, overall 4.4

Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading. Pale gold with a creamy white head; citrus aroma; powerful grapefruit taste; with a tart and bitter finish. Rather good.

Cask-conditioned at the Crosse Keys, Gracechurch Street, 8/4/08. Golden coloured with next to no head. Big citrus hop aroma followed by flavours of grapefruit and elderflowers. A very hoppy, dry finish. Good, but lacking a little something.

Cask handpull at County Hotel Sporks, Ashford. This was a bit strange. The first time I had it I thought it was excellent, the second time a few hours later, it was only just ok. So this rating is the first one. Really looking forward to this one due to the hop varieties used and Roosters history. Paleish gold with lasting off white head. Kiwi fruit. Lemony aroma. Some grapefruit. It’s fine. A little less full on than the Stone DIPA which has just about ruined every hoppy beer in Britain for me. It’s balanced, a bit nettley, great condition. Good biscuit and rather tasty.

Half pint from gravicask at London drinker BF 08 (thanks to Stonch). Fragile white head resting on an amber coloured body. Fresh fruity aroma. Dry hopped profile lingering into a nice bitter ending. Good mouthfeel for its low alcohol strength (evening session, 13.03.2008).

Cask gravity at Bricklayers Arms 2nd Annual Yorkshire BF 08. Pale gold with disappearing off whtie head. Slight haze. Peachy hop aroma. Pretty nice hop aroma. Resin. That’s actually fairly good, but then you expect it from Rooster’s. Little bit of farty yeast, but the white stone fruit flavours are pleasing.

Cask condition, gravity at Reading BF 2007. You see this is the beauty of cask conditioned beer. On the Friday before mesandsim (Sim) rated this, Chris_O and myself were recommending this beer to all and sundry when the Thornbridge Hall beers had run out. By Saturday afternoon it was obviously not as good. Or we just have different tastes in beer. Gold colour with lasting white head. Resiny flowery aromatic Amarillo hop. Grapefruit, juicy in mouth. Very drinkable. Very dry on end. Good malt structure and the hop is excellent.

Cask at Fannies Ale and Cider House, Saltaire, West Yorks’ 04-05-07. Poured warm golden colour with white busy head. Hops and Grapefruit dominated the aroma and were most noticeable in taste dept’. I marginally preferred the Durham White Velvet that I tried alongside this, but this was very drinkable.
