Cask (gravity) at Standing Order, Derby. Pours bitter brown with small off-white head. There’s treacle and malts in the aroma. In the mouth it is briefly sweet, before quickly becoming bitter with flavours of autumn fruits, traditional hops and treacle. Plus hints of nuts and Werthers old original sweets. Finish is slightly bitter. This is reasonable.

Cask @ Regal Moon, Rochdale. Darker amber coloured with a creamy-frothy head. Flavoursome malty-earthy brew and very easy drinking, in part due to its slip down the neck texture.
