Cask at the Union Tavern, London. Pours dark brown with a fine, beige foam head. Ashy roast in the nose, some dry coffee. Light sweet flavor, burnt toast, light tang, hints of cocoa. Light bodied with fine, soft carbonation. A bit thin. Mellow roast to finish, light bittersweet cocoa, some earth. Not bad.

Cask in the Goodmans Fields Spoons. Almost clear gold beer. Tidy white head. Smooth palate, very mild carbonation. Bit of a grainy start, bearable! All right orange citrus hops on the back end. Smooth finish. Drinkable. Would be good with less raw tasting malt at the start.
