Bottle from House of Trembling Madness. Clear light amber with small white top with nice consistency. Quite a malty aroma, with a fusty floral and grassy hop. Taste is not bad - floral and grassy with corresponding bitterness with a sweet orange citrus, touch of resin. Slightly cloying but a nice fine carbonation. Decent.

Bottle from Morrisons. Pours a clear light golden/yellow colour with a thin throthy white head. Low carbonation in the glass. Aromas of floral, light citrus, biscuits and a hint of spice. Taste is citrus and floral with a hint of tropical fruit, peppery spice and a big grassy hop bitterness on the finish. Medium body, average carbonation on the palate and slightly oily mouthfeel. Fresh summery beer. Good.

Cask at Holloway Wetherspoons. Thick black with big bubbly beige head. Aroma is unsurprisingly mainly toffee and treacle. Also slight burnt coffee/spicy smell. Taste is malty, caramel, biscuit. Delicious but pretty sweet! Quite thick and oily in the mouth. No real bitterness. Reminded me a bit of ice cream, or a frothy coffee. Not sure if this should be a good thing, but I quite liked it.
