Cask at Hogs Back Tap. Slightly opaque chestnut. Thin translucent white head forms a 3mm thick band. Aroma is interesting - light caramel and dark fruits with delicate ginger. Flavourwise it's more basic - sour berries and spice over bready malts. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Nice and apparently not brewed with spices.

Cask at The Tynte Arms, Enmore. The beer suits the pub - completely unmodern and not even trying. Murky mahogany look. Bit creamy. Dull but gluggable enough.
