Cask-conditioned at the Watershed, Bristol 18/07/10. Deep gold in colour with a frothy white head. Aroma of Pineapples, gooseberry and grapefruit, with a touch of sweet malt. Flavour had more tropical fruit, some biscuity malts and a mouth puckering, dry finish with some pine resin. There’s some truth in what the visitor from Birmingham said, but Arbor buck the local trend. Very enjoyable.

Cask gravity at Reading BF 2010. Gold, thin white head. Sharp hop, touch of butter I thought. Bit of biscuit malt. It’s ok, just needs a bit more distinctive hop.

Cask-conditioned at the Cornubia, Bristol 22/06/10. Golden in colour with a slight white head. Aroma of apricots and spicy, yet leafy hops. Flavours of cereal malts, with a touch of summer fruit sweetness, before a zingy, citrus kick leading in to a big, bitter finish. Very enjoyable and a bit different.

Cask-conditioned at the Victoria, Clifton Lido, Bristol 15/05/10. Near black in colour with a slight tan head, that left a trace of lace down the glass. Aroma of black coffee, dark fruit and a touch of chocolate. Flavour of roasted malts upfront, with a slightly creamy edge, followed by blackcurrant berry fruit and a gentle, slightly sweet finish. Very drinkable.

Cask at the Hobgoblin, Reading. Pitch black in colour with a loose milk chocolate coloured head; chocolate malt aroma; the taste is salty and fishy to start - the first Oyster Stout I’ve ever had that actually tastes of the sea! - then the malts take hold, leading to a sweet, but thin, velvety body that reminds me of bedtime drinks - Ovaltine and Horlicks; the finish is long, dry, milky, silky and malty, although you can just about detect an underlying bitterness. I thought this was excellent, but I expect that others may consider it otherwise - defintely a taste to be acquired!
