Cask, 3 Guineas, Reading. This was somewhat naaasty. Shades of malt and fruit, but lacking any real character. Maybe I had a soapy glass, but there was something not quite right here, which made the whole experience about as appealing as being locked in a room with a James Blunt album turned up full blast.. Ok, maybe not quite that bad.

Cask gravity at Red Lion, Snargate, summer bf 08. Dark ruby mild. Curious mild. Roasty, but an unusual roasty. Deep malts. Some dark fruits, morello cherry and plums. In fact quite a lot of cherry. Quite distinctive and pleasant.

Cask gravity at Bricklayers Arms 2nd Annual Yorkshire BF 08. Very deep ruby with thin beige head. Some dark malts, some decent fruit. Very little hop. Decent strong dark beer. 3.4/5 Re-rate at The Old Fountain, Old Street. Cellar run from the very good landlord. Corking condition, dark brown with lasting beige head. It’s a decent strongish dark beer, hard to put a style to it. Not choccy enough to be a porter, not roasted enough for a stout. Some good sourish fruit. An old ale then? Good everthing. Really nice fruit, good dry finish. Dark plums all over it, some dark choc. Excellent.
