Fra cask på Montague Pike, velfortjent etter et par timer i British Museum: mørke mahogny med ok skum. Deilig maltaroma og smak med litt lakris, kaffe, overmodne bjørnebær og brente brødskorper. Tørr og lang avslutning.

Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading. Unsurprisingly it's a chestnut colour (!) with a thin beige head to cap it off. Roast chestnuts in the flavour too, although possibly milk chocolate is more dominant. There's also toffee and a hint of autumn berries. A slightly powdery mouthfeel was the only downside. It'll be on the sweet side for some but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Fra cask på Mossy Well: klar dyp gylden med fint skum som varer. Fin aroma og god smak preget av Bavaria Mandarina, en av mine favoritthumler. God bitterhet i avslutningen.

Keg at Beaconsfield Taps - thanks Colin (I think) for sharing. Brown-black with a beige head. Fruity berries - blackcurrant maybe - up front, along with dark chocolate. Turns pleasantly smoky. Unfortunately it's a little thin and sour. Still quite enjoyable though.
