Bottle. A gift from Totnes. The person not the place. One of those you think you must have already ticked. Anyway. Clear amber. Decent pale beige swede is bubbly but lasting. Nose is nicely nutty with a little marzipan in there. Leafy herbal hop. Biscuit malts. Taste is semi sweet with a good amount of herbal bitterness. Slightly chewy and plenty of body. Bittersweet finish. Solid gear.

Bjørnøy-Sandnes t/r med livgivende suppestasjon på Melkebaren! Første til venstre på planken, og fra cask: lett uklar kobbergylden med fint skum som varer. Fruktig og maltrik med mild bitterhet, kjeks og urter. En nydelig ESB med pøsekvalitet.

Cask at Charlies. Chestnut reddish. Cream, roasted, malt, walk in the woods. Fluffy light and soft, then a decent bitterness, and then creamy. There are rules for beer - and the first rule is: "if there is cask available then yes". Wait, maybe that was the second rule, with the first "if nitro is available then yes". I am confused and need to read the rule book again. But anyway, this is good.
