Handpull cask at the Salmon, Leicester. Dark brown and only a little translucent with a tight beige/khaki head. Big hit of roasted malt in the aroma. Taste is sweet at first but descends to an intense bitterness to the finish. The bitterness lingers giving berry notes and even a bit of spruce in the aftertaste. Full body for the ABV with soft carbonation.

Handpull cask at the Salmon, Leicester. Pale to mid-gold and clear with a soapy white head. Sweet juicy aroma, white grape, some grassy and floral notes. Bitter taste with intense bittering hop in the back on the tongue. More white grape but there's an icky sulphurous character which brings the score down. Long bitter finish: metallic, medicinal and gooseberry-y. Got some flaws but overall good.
