Cask Conditioned at Akkurat
Black color; creamy head. Aroma of roasted malt and some malt. Good mouthfeel, good mix of caramel, malt and mild roasted malt. Nothing special, but at least well balanced.

500ml bottle from the brewery. Having had 4 bottles of this I have decided that I like it. Chilled and filtered before bottling. Amber, rocky white head. Little bit estery on aroma on this bottle which I didn’t pick up on the previous bottles. Good sharp English hop aroma too. Decent malts in mouth, little bit biscuity. Peachy hop finish is very good. Bitter. Tasty, but would like to try on cask. I had this on cask at the Gardener’s Arms in Lewes and didn’t like it as much as the bottle version, fuller, but sweeter and less hoppy.

500ml bottle from the brewery. Bottle condition. Copper colour with thin off white head. Earthy hoppy honey, it’s fine, little bit muddy. Honey gives it some structure. It is a bit muddled, but I kind of like it. Then again, I like honey beers. Drinks fuller and stronger than 3.7%. Aroma reminds me of Goachers fine light ale. Has that marmalade thing. Tasty

500ml bottle bought from the brewery. I had to go to Sudbury on work, so popped into the brewery which was excellent and had a little chat. It seems incredible that I’ve never rated this. Seen it at a lot of BFs but never had it. Black beer, tan head, lovely smoky stout aroma. Choc/coffee on aroma too. Smooth and full in mouth and then charcoal and acidity on palate late, with a dry finish. It lives up to its reputation. Excellent craftwork.

Cask Black beer with a good tan head. Liquorice, slightly winey-sourish nose, a bit vinous. A flavour as walking into a Chinese toko - dried fish, exotic spices. Warming up, its even more like Chinese "Five Spices". Weird... Medium bodied at best, ending flat. The problem with cask ale is that it can vary. Even in the WHOPG. This one is not in top-shape.

Cask at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Near black. Appley nose. Sweet and roasty, lightly soapy with some grassy hops and licorice showing up in a bitter finish. Nicely rounded, but well sweet, even if it dries out towards the finish.

(Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm, 19 Dec) Dark amber colour with frothy off-white head. Fruity nose with caramel, dried fruit, orange, grapefruit and floral hops. Fruity taste with notes of orange, grapefruit, caramel and a nice punch of hops in the finish. Slightly sweetish. Fairly nice, definitely saved by the nice hop character in the finish.
