Cask-conditioned at the Three Tuns, Bristol 21/12/10. Golden in colour with a slight white head. Aroma of grapefruit, with some floral notes and a touch of sweetness. Flavour was dominated by more grapefruit, with some decent balancing malts and lengthy, dry finish. Good.

Cask-conditioned at the Three Tins, Bristol 23/11/10. Copper coloured with a decent, off-white head. Sweetish aroma of caramel and orange fruit, with some floral hops. Flavour began with more fruit and sweet malts, before some citrus hops and a lingering, bitter finish. Good.

Thanks to Nate who brought this hand bottled from The Rake to The Cask Pub & Kitchen. Very dark brown thin beige head. Decent black IPA. Roasted malt aroma along with the hops. Lovely. Good bitter finish. Lacked a touch of condition from the hand bottling. I have had Raven in this pub which was better than this

Shared bottle at CPK. Pours a semi-clear, dark ruby-brown with a strong, tan, creamy head. Light caramel and brown sugar in the nose, with some citrus hops. Sweet, malty flavor with some char and cocoa, followed by nice and fruity bitterness. Medium in body with fine carbonation and light warmth. Finishes smokey, with roasted malts and some light hops. Also some faint notes of cheese. Really, really good.

Cask-conditioned at the Three Tuns, Bristol 3/10/10. The usual Arbor single hop colour of golden with a slight white head. Aroma of sweetish malts, and grassy hops with a touch of citrus fruit. Flavour was similar, with some black pepper in the background and decent bitter finish. Enjoyable.

From a polypin at the Three Tuns, Bristol 1/10/10. Slightly hazy gold in colour.Aroma of sweet malts and leafy, herbal hops. Flavour was similar, with the green edge to the hops very evident, before a dryish finish. Fine.

@Raven, Bath. Golden colour, bright. The aroma has some dull, slightly chewy hop stuff (old centennial? Kind of smells like it). On the palate, this is more bitter, with a resiny character not normally found in Britain. Not as bright as I like
