Cask handpull at Sheffield Tap Sheffield. Very dark brown thin beige head. Swwet dark syrup with a buttery richness. Reminds me of butter caramelised in a pan. Some dark cherry. Not sour enough for me. Ut us like licking a frying pan that has had butter caramelising in it. Some strawberry jam sweetness. Frankly its bizarre. Never had a beer taste of caramelised butter before. And its not diacetyl. Strawberry jam comes through more as you drink it. Crazy. Going to bed now

Cask handpull at Sheffield Tap. Very dark brown ruby beer with thin lasting beige head. Fruity choccy porter. Like choc brownies with alcohol. So its quite dry. Some liquorice too. Not sure this entirely works. Trying to be too much. A juicy dry liquorice choccy porter. Thin and full at same time. Give me lager.2.9 Re rate at Kent And East Sussex 2024. Tasty malty beer. Good condition. Very tasty. Lovely dark malts. Good porter.

Cask condition handpull Sheffield Tap. Pale gold lasting white head. Moderate medium golden ale. Its fine. Just straight down the line 4% golden ale. Some grainy bitterness on finish.

On cask at Nerax North. Pours a deep crystal clear golden color with a small bubbly white head. Smells of bitter earthy hops with barely enough malt to back it up. Taste is slightly fruity with hints of apricot or some such fruit. Lots of bitter earthy hops jump out at me. Medium body, light level of carbonation with a slick mouthfeel. I enjoyed this one as a light easy drinking I could pound these all night type of brews.

12th October 2011. Cask at Port Street Beer House. Interesting taste, bitter but sweet, could not but my finger on this one. OK

Cask, gravity at Harbury Beer Festival, Harbury, Warwickshire, 03.09.11 Pours mid gold with a few stray bubbles. Touch of tngy fruit some watery marmalade, medium bitterness. Its not bad at all, touch more dryness and a little less sweetness and it could have been a belter. A6 A4 T7 P3 Ov13 3.3
