Handpull cask at the Two-Tailed Lion, Leicester. Dark brown, just a little bit of translucency and not much head. Gentle chocolate malt in the aroma. Taste is bittersweet with a light bittering hop turninf more bitter near the finish. Not a lot to it but pleasant unremarkable rather than dull.

Gravity cask at the Real Ale Classroom, Stoneygate, Leicester. Mid-brown with a noticeable translucency and a small loose beige head. Light aroma, some gently sour woody notes and some caramel malt. Well-balanced taste with that tongue-coating tang that so many good bitters have. Long finish with bittering hips dominant. Watery and slightly flat body. A mixed bag but pretty good all in all.
