Cask at the Falcon (JDW), Wycombe. Amber with a white head. Nice full mouthfeel on this one, showing why cask is by far the best way to serve bitter. Caramel up front with a hint of lemon and some rustic straw. Blackberries come through too. A decent bitter, enjoyed it.

Cask handpull at County Hotel JDW Ashford. Clear brown amber colour lasting cream head. Mid malty brown bitter. Malty aroma. Light bitterness on the finish. It's a slightly non interesting brown bitter. OK.

Half-pint after a traditional spoons breakfast. Filmy layer leaving rich lacing on the glass, clear golden body. Inviting on the nose with ripe fruits and grainy malts. Mixed taste of leafy hops and mid-sweet pale malts. Satisfying bittersweet finish. Pleasing. (Liverpool, 14.02.2025).

Аромат сухой, есть немного сливы, сладость небольшая от шоколада, и намеки на жаренное кофе. Цвет черный, тело плотное весьма, пенка не большая, светло коричневая. Вкус по сухости почти как Драй стаут. Весьма много жаренного кофе с шоколадом, но уходит все быстро в сухость и вязкость на языке. При глотке появляется небольшая сладость от ванили и шоколада, четкая сливовость на финише. Мне кажеться что было бы лучше без такой сухости.

Запах как говорил Ваномас угольный, очень жженый, много солода с нотками кофе и черного шоколада. Цвет темно коричневый, пенка очень маленькая и мыльная. Вкус средний, очень терпкий но не сильно хмелевой. Много жженого солода, снова терпкость, но особого сильно вкуса нет. При глотке легкий хмель, кислинка и немного кофейных зерен. Не особо противно, но больше не возьму.

Bottle from Wales Ales. Clear gold with nice white head. A pretty fresh floral and herbal hop aroma with standard pale malt. Taste has a semi-sweet fruity note somewhere between tropical and stone fruit, floral bitter bite on a solid if uninteresting malt base. Decent balance to it though.

Bottle from LCB, 6 months still in date. Clear gold with small white top, little retention. Aroma of citrus, elderflower, light toasted pale malt, floral to spicy hop. Taste of elderflower, toasted malt, light citric and floral hops. Light bodied, moderate carbonation, easy drinking. I tend to score higher than most for sessionable brews but this one I found to be very drinkable but boring.
