Cask at Petersgate Tap, Stockport. Pours a slightly hazy gold with a sizeable white head and good lacing. There’s floral hops and some citrus in the aroma. In the mouth it is sweet and yeasty. Hops are there from the start, and it quickly becomes quite intensely bitter with traditional hops and lemongrass. Leading to a massively dry finish. This is very good indeed – plenty of the old school hoppiness that I like.

Gravity cask from the Blue Boar, Leicester. Dark brown, pretty much opaque with a loose uneven khaki/tan head. Muted aroma with chocolate fudge, not getting quite so much coffee. Taste is sweet and- oh there's the coffee- with a sugared creamy notes leading to a more balanced finish with chocolate malt in the aftertaste. Super-oily body, soft to no carbonation. An excellent little brew.

Cask at Smithfield, Derby. Pours a dull murky brown with minimal off-white head. Just a sweet maltiness in the aroma. Sweetness too in the mouth, though it is somewhat watery. Flavour has malts, plus hints of ash, caramel and treacle. A bit nondescript really.
