Cask handpull at the ring bar Southwark. Nice clear pale golden coloured pour with a lasting light white head. Aroma us straw wet grass, earthy and yeast esters. Flavour is light base malts with classic English hop, slight grass, chalky water profile and assertive bitterness. Clean ferment. Palate is dry with moderate carbonation and good bright condition. Nice lingering zing of citrus. Tasty drop.

Cask @ Bree Louise. Heavy notes of citrus, elderflower and flour. A bit dry. Refreshing.

Cask at the Carpenters Arms, Windsor, 20/07/14. Black with a well appointed light tan covering. Nose is light roast, toffee, charr, biscuit, grain. Taste comprises subtle roastings, cocoa powder, toffee, light smoke. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, smooth on the palate. Decent enough dry stout, easy drinker.

Cask gravity at Watford rugby Club beer fest. Golden light amber colour small fleeting off white head. Aroma is tart berry, green apple, slight musty. Flavour is nutty malt, slight musty, some pine needles, tart green apple. Assertive bitterness is rough round the edges. Disappointing.

On cask at the Haymarket. Appearance - almost opaque but with red chinks. Nose - rich dark chocolate with sultanas. Taste - dark chocolate some charcoal and perhaps a hint of liquorice. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - definitely a dry stout. Good example.

Cask at The Haymarket. Pours near-black, thin beige head. Aromas of dark chocolate and faint coffee. Taste is more of the same. Creamy texture, but a bit thin on the finish. OK.
