Surprised I haven’t rated this before as the name sounds very familiar. Cask at Bird in Hand, Stafford. Pours a slightly hazy golden amber with minimal off-white head. There’s summer fruits and apples in the aroma. In the mouth it’s floral hops with autumn fruits and biscuits. Later on there is some bitterness and hints of ginger. Finish is slightly bitter and sticky. This is reasonable. Not sure about calling it a “best bitter” though – more a pale or golden ale.

Cask (lager) at Bird in Hand, Stafford. Pours a pale straw with a small off-white head. Some floral hops and traces of corn in the aroma. There’s fairly high but soft carbonation in the mouth. Overall it’s sweet with malts and lemon rind. Later on some bitterness becomes evident and this increases in the finish. It’s OK, but a bit of a niche style that doesn’t really appeal to me.

Finally – a review from outside Scandinavia ! Cask at Bird in Hand, Stafford. Pours a bright golden yellow with a small white head. The nose is sweet with vague hints of lemon and apple. The sweetness continues into the mouth, with a fruitiness which can be narrowed down to a mishmash of apples and other summer fruits. Later on floral hops come into play along with some hints of ginger. Finish is dry and bitter. This is a good solid beer.

Cask @ Pint Pot, Rochdale. Dark with a small head. Its chocolate and orange combination is evident in both aroma and taste, but is slightly more stated in the former.

Hand-pulled half pint (twice) at The Crown Inn, Oakengates on 30th April 2022 during a beer festival. Jet black body, tanned topping. Smooth and fairly rich body with a subtle black cherry aroma and flavour, nicely done, mini-smokiness in there too.

Cask at Bird in Hand, Stafford. Pours a very dark reddish-brown with a medium sized foamy cream head. There is a very strong aroma of chocolate, but also some roasted malts can be detected. Pretty much the same in the mouth to start with, but with added flavour of dark fruits. After a while liquorice comes through strongly and dominates the bitter finish. Not a world beater, but pretty good.

Cask at Bird in Hand, Stafford – though I have drunk it before some time ago. Pours a very dark reddish – brown with a small beige head. The aroma is a heady concoction of smoke, liquorice and chocolate. In the mouth it has a sweet and creamy texture, with piles of liquorice in the flavour. There’s roasted malts and hitns of ash and herbs too. Finish is smoky and slightly bitter. This is awesome !

Handpull cask at the Blue Boar, Leicester. Dark brown and opaque with a ring of khaki head. Aroma of sweet liquorice with a little bit of smoke. Taste is sweet as well, getting notes of molasses with the liquorice. Little balance even in the finish, this is a very sweet beer. Oily body, soft carbonation. Not surebthis is a mild but man is it nice.
