Cask @ The Richard Oastler, Brighouse. Hazy amber-brown with a creamy head. Deeper tasting malty brew with a robustness to it.

Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading; surprised I've not rated it before. Amber with an off-white head. Average condition at best. Sweetish, with brown bread, a vague fruitiness, caramel, a lot of diacetyl. Disturbingly sticky. Not great.

Cask at The Justice Mill, Aberdeen. Surprised I haven't rated this before! It pours clear deep brown with a thick, beige head. The aroma is earthy, woody, toasted nut, brown bread, toffee and fruit cake. The taste is dry, woody, quite nutty, walnut, earthy, dusty, leather, some astringency, spice and dried fruits. Finish has a slight astringent, nutty vibe. Medium body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Fairly robust and with some decent character to it. I am not a huge fan of the finish though, which doesn't leave a great taste in the mouth.

Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.
