Cask at the Crosse Keys, JDW. Clear copper pour with a foamy, white cap. Doughy malts on the nose with berries. Pretty sweet flavor, more dough, hints of burnt sugar and ripe fruits, a bit of earthy bitterness. Light to medium in body with fine carbonation. Slightly baked bread in the finish, toasty sugar and lasting grass. Not bad overall.

Cask handpull at the Wig & Pen Northampton. Beautiful clear amber colour with lasting near white head. Malty beer. Soft in mouth. Some acidity on the hops. Bit of a change from the Dark Star I had before this. Wish the couple at the bar would put each other down. Shes got nice shoes though. Also wish I hadnt broken my lap top earlier this evening.
