[Cask at Charlies Bar, Copenhagen] A hazy deep red beer with a bubbly brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of cowberries, combined with hints of toffee. The flavor is sweet with a strong berry note combined with some fruit notes and light hop notes, leading to a slightly bitter and dry end with a touch of wood. Very light for a Porter - I can’t find the roasted malt.

Cask handpull at Chambers, Folkestone. Black beer with bubbly lasting beige head. Choc aroma with some sourness. Velvet choc in mouth with liquorice sourness on finish. Choc does dominate but the sourness balances it. Almost Pontefract cake-like on end. An interesting stout with good intensity and definition of flavours

Hazy brown head with a thick frothy white head. that lasts a while. Sweet caramel aroma. Flavor of caramel, ripe fruit, and some light bitterness

Cask. Dark golden colour, not much head. Alcohol, fruit and berries in aroma. Strong alcohol and fruit in flavour. Quite extreme for being a cask ale, but then again very pleasant. Good beer to have if you sit down and have a chat with friends.

Copper-golden color, small off-white head. Slightly alcoholic, berry-like aroma. Sweetish, even sugary ale with fruity notes. Very long, alcoholic bitter aftertaste. Berry also there. Cask ale to sip, slowly.

500ml bottle-pours a big, 2+ finger foamy to rocky offwhite head with hazy yellow/orange color. Aroma is hops, grassy, musty, citrus, floral. Taste is bitter-no citrus, slightly tart, medium body, malt, , woodiness, alcohol. RB has style as English Stong Ale, even though the label has IPA. English Stong Ale IS the taste of this beer. Enjoyable for one and then moving along to something else.

500ml bottle. Very dark brown colour, disappearing beige head. Aroma of chocolate. Fine in mouth if a little grainy with more choc and some faint fruit flavours. Expected it to be a little more robust. Finish is not exactly sour, but watery really. It’s ok if not entirely stunning.

Cask handpull at County Hotel, JDW, Ashford. Deep copper colour with bubbly lasting head. Really good English hop/malt nose. Excellent supping best bitter. Slightly full in mouth with drying hop on end. Some toffee, clean, drinkable, slightly tart. Best bitter as it should be. Just a tad too wet in the mouth

(Bottle 50 cl) Completely pitch black and opaque beer with a creamy, light brown head. Marked aroma of burned malt. Flavour full of the same burned malt - almost coffeeish. Too burned for my palate. I really don’r detect the added brambleberries - only dryness and a pronounced bitter finish from the malts. 011005
