Handpull cask at the Lord Nelson, Oakham. Somewhere between chestnut and honey brown. Clear with a small whitish head and noticeable lacing. Nutty caramel malt in the aroma with astringent character. Taste is... right now. Anyone else old enough to remember Bit-O-Honey candy bars? The taste is similar, but with a healthy dose of autumnal hop bitter. Bitterness of the finish woven through with caramel malt sweetness. Ok boys and girls: this is how you do a twiggy brown.

Handpull cask at the Royal Standard Cambridge. Dark purplish brown. Translucent. Very little head but a lot of lacing. Chocolate and egg yolk aroma which is spoiled a bit by a sharp vegetal note. Taste is gorgeous though: unapologetically sweet and creamy. Lots of oaty intensity like sugary breakfast porridge. Creamy mouthfeel. Really nice.
