Cask at the Walsall Beer Festival 2013. Poured a crystal clear light straw colour with a thin glass hugging white head. The aroma is pure malt and smells like the cellar of an old English pub where the floor isn’t cleaned so often! The flavour is medium bitter, with some stale malt, but smooth on the palate. Thankfully there was no gas! If I drank lager regularly this would be the one.

Cask at the Walsall Beer Festival 2013. Poured a crystal clear yellow straw colour with a bubbly white head. The aroma is of caramel and butter. The flavour is weak bitter and malty with a creamy caramel palate. A super ale from Beowulf. Perfect for a session and great for any season too.

Poured a dark mahogany with a bubbly tan head and no lace. The aroma is big dry peat and roasted malt. The flavour is strong bitter, liqourice and dark chocolate. A really chewy and satisfying beer. The alcohol is starting to dominate a little but its not at the point where I’m concerned. Great to taste, but due to the high alcohol content, I won’t be having a session on this!

Cask at JDW, Paradise Circus, Birmingham. Poured a very slightly hazy medium amber with a broken white head, lots of lace and no carbonation. The aroma is a little malty, but weak. The flavour is medium bitter, malty, with a hint of toffee and a little fruit on the palate and in the aftertaste. This is what a real ale should taste like and I could honestly drink this all night long!

Bottle from Stirchley Wines, Birmingham. Poured a clear copper with a frothy white head. The aroma is a little malty, but weak. The flavour is medium to strong bitter, a little metallic, some malt and the bitterness hangs around into the aftertaste. A great session ale.
