[i] Cask at the Flowerpot, Derby. 08-09-07 [/i] I donโt really know what was wrong with this, it poured fine, golden in colour and with small white head, good clarity, but tasted soapy and quite poor, I really shouldโve taken this back but it was the end of the night, Iโd had a rake of ale and my dad was threatning to go onto the Thomas Sykes next at 10%, poor beer to end what had been a great day of generally very good beers.

Cask at Peterborough Beer Fest. Clear golden. Lychee aroma. Sweet and fruity. Medium-full bodied with very evident American style hop character. Salty bitter finish.

Small yellowish head and rather opaque mahogany beer. Mix of chocolate, cacao powder & toasted hard cake. Some dried dark fruit; sweet-smelling but inviting, a bit like some German Bockbiere. Nearly shocking wry-strange taste, starting as human sweat, going over in salty notes - as some raw Japanese sea delicacy - towards a harsh, near-metallic bitterness. Rather empty MF, thin body. Just a lingering bitterness as burnt crust in the aftertaste. Weird beer, IMO. Again one where the nose is not in accordance with the flavour, and I can have problems with that.

500ml bottle from Booths. Deep red with lasting beige head. Malty fruit on aroma, quite smooth in mouth, fruity, red fruits. Quite creamy, bit empty. Nice redcurrant finish. Bit of caramel. Not a great beer, but tasty enough.

Dark red brown ale witg a thick off white head. Sweet brown sugar aroma, like vanilla fudge and dry raisins. In mouth, sweet caramel with very buttery notes, oxidized taste, a bit astringent, nothing thrilling. BB April 2004....jeez, I have to check my BB dates more carefully!

Bottle. Sweet raisin malt aroma. Cloudy orange brown color with small head. Brown sugar and raisin flavor with moderate hops finish. Pretty weak for the style.

[Cask at GBBF 2005] A hazy yellow beer with a white head. The aroma is sweet and slightly hoppy. The flavor is sweet malty with light notes of both citrus and hops.

Cask gravity at Notts BF 05. Ties as my beer of the festival. Black beer with lasting beige head. Intense hop, dark malts, some tar and bitter choc. Like a really good imperial style stout. Beautifully balanced, hops on end plus more bitter choc. Not too strong not too intense, not too alcholic, perfect balance
