On cask at Black Bull, Coniston - Nothing like the bottled version I’d had not an hour earlier, and nowhere near as good. Deep brown body, thick brilliant white head. Nose is more flowery than the bottle, taste is more floury. Thinner too. Looks better mind you.

Bottle from Co-Op opposite Black Bull, Coniston - As a BYOB at the local bistro, nice red body, decent off-white head. Rich nose of caramel and malts, taste has lots of rich cake fruit stuff going on, thickish palate too. Quite a decent drink.

On cask at Black Bull, Coniston - Cracker this one. Deep amber body, thick lacing white head. Nose is all kinds of fruit punch with citrus, berries and tropical fruits there, Great syrupy mouthfeel helps the bittersweet taste, king lasting finish. Superb.

On cask at Black Bull Coniston - Jet black body, thin tan head. Nose is roasted grain, bit of porridge, hoppiness there too. Taste is similar, nice burnt bitter finish. Not bad.

On keg at Black Bull, Coniston - First of the night and a quencher. Good looking clear yellow body, loads of carbonation lines, and a lasting head. Nose is pretty much as expected, grassy and bit of rice, but taste wise its sweetness helps it along nicely. Not a bad ’un to start with.

On cask at Black Bull, Coniston - Clear yellow straw body, thick lacing white head. Nose is minimal hop and citrus, nothing exciting there. Taste is crisp and clean, but again very little in the way of character. Swiftly on to the next one.

On cask at Black Bull Coniston - Clear gold body with a tight foamy white head. A flowery hop nose. Not as bitter as the standard Bluebird and sweeter. Tangy finish, but got a little samey as the drink went on.
