Cask gravity at Reading BF 06. Amber with thick bubbly head. Bit of toffee/diacetyl maybe, then bitter. Quite juicy in mouth then harsh bitterness on end. Not keen on the aroma, but very aggressive on end.

Cask gravity at Planet Thanet BF 2006, Ramsgate. Black beer with ruby edges and bubbly beige head. Coffee choc aroma, good in mouth, then has sourness towards the end, with drying hop finish. Tasty mild with roasted malt flavours and touch of powdery charcoal. Would have this again.

(Cask at Oliver Twist, Stockholm, Mar 11 and rerated same place 12 Sep) Colour is pale amber. Nose is fruity, flowery with hints of oranges, mandarines, toffee and some earthy hops. Taste starts fruity (mandarine, grapefruit) with some malty sweetness, becomes more bitter towards the finish, that has a rather long metallic, dusty bitterness. Nice and refreshing.

Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm. Clear golden, light citric aroma. Dry and light bodied with soft mouthfeel, Light hop intensity. The finish doesn’t seem as bitter at first, but it keeps lingering forever. More of a thirst quencher than a sipper.
