Cask at Clapton Hart. It pours darkest brown with a small beige head. The aroma is soft, sweet, toffee, filter coffee, cocoa, roasted malt and some meatiness. The taste is dry, pretty bitter, some astringency, roasted malt. charred wood, burnt coffee, brown bread, marmite and some toasted brown sugar. Finish is drying and a bit astringent / burnt. Lighter end of medium body and soft carbonation. It is hard to see last that astringent / burnt coffee character. Not great....

Cask at the Clapton Hart - Hackney. Pours clear gold with a moderate, foamy white head. The nose holds grass and dried pale bread. Light sweet flavour with some biscuits, hay, bitter grass and grain husks. Light in body with fine carbonation; decent condition. Finishes with more dry pale malts, more husk and grass. A little aggressive in its bitterness. Just so so.
