På St. Albans Beer & Cider Festival 2023. Delt med Rune. Mørk stråfarget. Klar. Luftig filmskum. Litt lacing. Lett kjeksaroma. Hint av frukt. Smaken som aromaen. Balansert. Tørr bitter avslutning.

Cask at The Park Tavern, Eltham. Golden orange pour with a white head. Floral, citrusy aromas. Taste is honey, citrus, bitter malts. Fruity bitter finish. Nice.

GBBF Day 2. Cask. A light haze on this darkish amber brown beer, small pale tan head. Palate is light and semi dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Dry choccy malts, mellow, a little dry cream. Mild esters. Ripe fruits before a dry finish. Alright.

[Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading.] A slightly hazy pale amber pour with a tight cream head leaving lots of lacing; fresh hoppy aroma; full of fresh hops in the mouth with a vegetal bitterness that strips the palate; meaning that the middle and the finish are just more of the same. A nice hop bomb, but leaving me wanting something different.

Cask at Picture House, Stafford. Asked for a half, paid for a half – got served a pint ! Luckily my train was 10 mins ate, so I didn’t have to rush it too much. Anyway, pours a very dark reddish-brown with a medium sized foamy beige head, and good lacing. The aroma has roast malrs and dark fruits. In the mouth it is smooth, with some hidden bitterness. Main flavours are chocolate and roast malts, plus hints of coffee and toffee. Some floral hops come through after a while. Finish is quite bitter. This is pretty good, a really nice porter.

Cask @ Barum Top Inn, Halifax. Dark amber with a glow and a creamy-smooth head. Malt aroma but a little more interesting in taste with some smoother tasting mildly herbal and darker malt tastes, albeit very very light.

Cask at JDW Wibbas Down Inn, Wimbledon (27/03/2023) - JDW Spring Fest 2023 - toasted malty with notes of sweet biscuit malts, touch of caramel, cereal, light nutty accents, medium body and soft cask carbonation with a smooth mouthfeel, bitter hoppy and lingering malty close. Ok.
