Cask handpull at Union Rooms, JDW, Newcastle. Lots of dry malt, some subtle hop, but this beer is all about the malts

Cask@GBBF2007. Pale yellow colour, not much head. Very malty nose with bready and even yeasty hints. Flavour is yeast, some slight hints of smooth caramel malts. Still boring.

Cask gravity at White Cliffs BF 2007. Ruby colour with lasting bubbly beige head. Syrupy malt aroma. Bit of toffee/coffee. The syrupy malt is balanced by some hop spicyness on the end. Toffee is good. Bit of vanilla.

Cask gravity at London Drinker BF. Gold, no head. Sweaty hop aroma, thinish in mouth with dry finish. Some rubber in there as well. The hop grew on me as I sipped it.

[Cask at GBBF 2005] An opaque red-brown beer with a very little head. The aroma is lovely roasted combined with notes of toffee and chocolate. The flavor is sweet with notes of chocolate, leading to a dry roasted end. The mouthfeel is smooth, but the body a bit thin.

Deep golden. Rich flowery hop aroma. Dry, nicely malty with rounded mouthfeel. Fruity and citrusy. Really bitter finish.
