Cask, Crescent, Salford. Great name for an xmas ale. Dark bronze colour with a thin off white head. Fruity aroma with malt and booze notes. Flavour slightly prickly with some spicy burnt orange mingling with the caramel malt and some gentle hop. Pleasantly surprised by this one.

Cask at The New Oxford, Manchester. A light green beer with a lazing white head. The aroma has notes of vitamins - is this a very healthy beer? The falvor is sweet with notes of guerana and vitamins - a weird mixture. It has a slightly acidic edge. Is it water from the local river?

Cask. A golden beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma is light, but has notes of malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, straw, metal, and fruit. Boring.

Cask gravity at St Albans BF 09. Amber, no head. Some buttery hard malt. Not the best bitter in the world, some vague hop on end.

Medium beige creamy head. Dark brown body. Faint roasty caramelly aroma with milky notes. Dryish-sweetish roasty resiny wooden taste with earthy caramel and roasted almonds notes. Mild and smooth mouthfeel. Mid-bodied. Dry fruity roasty wooden aftertaste. Nice, but very ... mild. (0.25l cask, The Bow Bar, Edinburgh.)
