Hand-pulled half-pint in The Cock Hotel, Wellington on 27th June 2014. Pale golden body with a white crown. Odourless and almost tasteless. Did nothing for me at all, I do not think cask lagers work, this one did not in my eyes anyway. Slight bitter feel but nothing much to write about really.

On cask at The Holy Inadequate, Etruria. Jet black body with a dark tan head. Lovely and toasty and smoky coffee on the nose. Sweet chocolate malt taste, nice rich and warming. Quality and highlight of the day.

Cask at the Walsall CAMRA Beer Festival 2014. Poured a crystal clear light amber with a bubbly white head. The aroma is stale malt, dough, biscuit light hop. The flavour is medium bitter with a smooth malt hop liqourice bitter palate and long bitter finish. Medium to light bodied with soft carbonation. Not impressed initially but it grew on me I must admit. The hop kick and that sting in the tail is huge and took a little getting used to but now I’m a believer!
