Hand-pulled half-pint in The Royal Oak, Ellerdine Heath, a village pub in Shropshire. Lovely dark body, like a black hole really! The head was a deep blanket of creamy foam, tan in colour. The aroma and taste blended into one, a semi-sweet roasted maltiness oozed from the glass giving a mild chocolate and coffee feel to the nose and flavour. Very drinkable, almost smooth in nature with an oily, full body.

Hand-pulled pint in The Pheasant, Admaston Shropshire on 8th Nov 2014. Not in good condition, or it is supposed to taste a little sour and musty? Looked fine, clear gold with a white head that hung around for a while. Sadly it went down hill from there. End of the barrel sort of feel to the nose and flavour. Will rate again if I ever see it again. Rated kindly!

On cask at Red Lion, Kegworth - Transparent copper body with off white head. Nose is malt, sweet caramel, grassy resinous hop. Taste is bread, dough, sticky malt, sweet caramel. Bitterness lingers on the heavy carbonation and a slightly syrupy body. Tasty.

Cask at The Thorn Tree, Waingrove, nr Ripley, Derbyshire 11.05.12 This beer was something of a comedown after the Summerwine Upstream, Coastal Cascade and Coastal West Coast IPA. I had this on the Friday night and it just lacked a real hoppiness and zest, very, very slight butteriness to this (but not significant). This is a touch thin and watery, there isn’t anything significantly wrong with it and as a beer you could sup without thinking about it then it would be fine. but sometimes you yearn for a beer that it either hoppy, malty, bitter, crisp, dry, full bodied etc sadly this didn’t hit anything of significance to make me yearn for another.
