Cask at CPK, Pimlico on 7th November 2014. Slightly hazy gold with thin off-white foam soon decaying to a ring-and-film, leaving the odd spot of lacing. Fruity malts and rich grapefruit citrus in aroma. Hoppy in-mouth with grapefruit, grassiness and a slight soapy note. Resounding hoppy finish echoing in the upper rear-mouth. A lot of flavour in a 3.8% session ale.

Cask at CASK. It pours near black with small beige head. The nose is big umami notes, bitter-sweet, dark chocolate, treacle and liquorice. The taste is firm bitterness, roasty, toasted coconut, cocoa, mild acidity, coffee, charred wood, ash and liquorice with a drying finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Pretty nice, but rather drying. Could be done with a touch more sweetness, but still decent.

Cask at Cask. It pours clear dark amber with a small beige head. The nose is sweet, woody, spicy, earth, warming, autumnal spice and some dried fruits. The taste is bitter-sweet, woody, resin, booze, dried fruits, raisin, warming, light spice, drying leather, fruit cake and brown sugar with a dry finish. Medium+ body and soft carbonation. Nice bitter-sweet balance. Punchy stuff. A lot better than I was expecting from a cask dubbel.

Cask-conditioned at Swindon Beer Festival, 23/10/2014. Pale brown in colour, with a slight, off-white, head. Aroma of booze with a trace of honey and stone fruits. Flavour had some dense cereal mlats, honey without the sweetness and culminated in a slightly toasty, warming alcohol finish. Fine.

Cask-conditioned on gravity, at Swindon Beer Festival, 23/10/2014. Dark brown in colour, with a thin, tan, head. Big, toasty mlats, a touch of dark fruit and some coconut in the background, that avoided bounty bar sweetness. Flavour was dryish with a touch of boozy alcohol. Enjoyable.

Cask, gravity dispense at Oxford Beer Festival, Oxford Town Hall, Thursday 16th October 2014 me and Loz in the company of Grace & Ian Not my favourite of the evening by any stretch however I think I liked it a little better than Glen. Thick in mouth with a little alcohol burn which is one of the mark downs of this beer. Creamy mouthfeel, warming, mmhh.. Its a bit of a one trick pony and certainly a big bombastic beer and whilst it seems a little confused as to its identity it does have a continental feel but in a rough and ready style.

Cask, gravity dispense at Oxford Beer Festival, Oxford Town Hall, Thursday 16th October 2014 me and Loz in the company of Grace & Ian Pours mid orange colour. This is a hoppy beer but it has oodles of streaky citrussy hops dancing about, a little spicy yeast (at least I think I can pick up a bit of spice) and sweet orange combine, tangy with a distinct citrus linger.
