[i] [b] Cask conditioned at Banbury Beer Festival 09-05-08 [/i] [/b] Light amber but a bit cloudy, it wasn’t a looker I’m afraid. Despite the looks I think it tasted better than I anticipated some sweetness but nice nuttiness as well, the bitterness eventually broke through and it held in there very well. I agree with Glen, Leeds beers would usually be much better than this, still it was ok and strangely I never got the perfume aroma that Glen got.

Cask gravity at Planet Thanet BF 08. Copper, off white head. Slightly yeasty buttery aroma. Buttery bitter, not my favourite. Some earthy hop on end. Possible diacetyl.

Cask gravity at Bricklayers Arms 2nd Annual Yorkshire BF 08. Ruby colour with thin beige head. Biscuity dark fruit/blackcurrant aroma. Some popcorn. Some choc. Butter popcorn flavour comes through. Nice enough strong mild, only faint hop on finish. Bit like a Crunchie with honeycomb taste. Some good fruit. Nice.

Cask-conditioned at the Bag O’Nails, Bristol 11/10/07. Very dark brown with a slight tan head. Sweet chocolate aroma with plenty of roasted notes. The flavour had more chocolate before a smooth, creamy finish. Excellent.

[i] Cask at Smithfest, Smithfield pub, Derby, 08-09-07 [/i] Poured mid brown, and very much a standard session ale. Great tasty, fruity and punchy bitter with really solid bitterness. Another enjoyable beer from Leeds.

[i] Cask at Smithfest, Smithfield pub, Derby, 08-09-07 [/i] Poured dark brown, with some nice roasted and bitter notes. Bitter roasted taste, that swiftly faded to leave some lovely sweet maltiness, flavours really swirled around in this beer which really was an excellent mild.

Cask at Peterborough Beer Fest. Deep golden. Salty grainy nose. Fruity and medium sweet with rounded mouthfeel. Pleasant biscuity malt flavour followed by a salty finish with good bitterness. A solid bitter.
