Cask at the Plough, Norwich. Mid-gold, clear with a gentle white head adorning the top. Spruce, tropical fruit and a dash of astringency in the smell. Taste is ambrosial: bitter turning quickly to sweet and finishing a slightly sulfurous bittersweet finish. Tasty and unique. Worth seeking out.

Cask at WHOAF 2015. It pours darkest brown/black with a small beige head. The nose is soft, sweet, light chocolate/cocoa, rocky road and chocolate powder. The taste is smooth, toasty, some bitterness, charred wood, ash, earth, mild acidity, peppery spice and liquorice with a dry finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Pretty alright.

Cask at the Old Nunโs Head - Nunhead, London. Pours clear gold with a frothy white head. The nose holds jammy citrus, light berries, pale bread. Medium sweet flavor with light minerality, rich bread, more jammy fruits, marmalade, light pine. Medium bodied with fine carbonation; fair condition. Moderately resinous on the finish, with light alcohol warmth, more sticky citrus. So so overall. A throw-back IPA.
