About

GBBF Day 1. Cask. Clear deep amber beer, tidy pale tan head. Palate is light, semi dry and has modest fine carbonation. Mellow dark malts, touch of dark chocolate. Mild and tangy dark fruits. Fine, but like a hundreds of other cask stouts.

Dark clear ruby beer, off-white head. Smell and taste are both dominated by fruit and malt. Apple in particular. It’s unremarkable but decent and sessionable and the first cask I found in Douglas (Isle of Man) that wasn’t a golden ale.

Clear golden. White head. Very little aroma, slightly malty. Taste is malty fruit, some citrus, bitter hop. Not the tastiest but it does build up as you get through it.

Sampled @ GBBF Day 2. Clear brown color, virtually no head. Smell and taste malts, caramel, brown malts, malt bitter. Decent body and carbonation. Hmm ok beer, but it doesn’t strike me as a stout but more like a porter or dark mild or something.

Cask at GBBF 2016. It pours clear dark brown with a small beige head. The aroma is toasted, earthy roasted malt, umami, saltiness and some wood. The taste is toasted malt, bitter - sweet, liquorice, roast, burnt fruit cake, treacle and berry skin with a dry toasted finish. Medium body and fine, soft carbonation. Finishes a bit dry perhaps, but overall its not bad.
