Hand-pulled half-pint in The Mariners, Great Yarmouth on 8th June 2014. Golden and clear with a good white head. Fairly sweet flavours, the malts leading the way over a floral hop backing group. Some fruity notes within the blend, I enjoyed this but it didn’t send me overboard: I moved onto other brews.

Cask @ Blacksmiths Arms, St. Albans. Blonde with a very thin head. Has a medium white wine aroma. It’s a lightly hopped session ale which is a touch thin.

Gravity cask at the London Drinker BF 2014. Pours deep brown with a frothy, khaki head. The nose gives off dark bread, light cocoa and dried, dark fruits. Light to medium sweet flavor with torched wood bitterness, baking cocoa, leathery dark fruits and earth. Medium bodied with fine carbonation; pretty good condition. Moderate sweetness to finish with dynamic dried dark fruit character, some ashy roast, bitter scorched earth, further bittersweet baking cocoa. Fairly tasty, some good depth.

Cask at the Milton Keynes Beer Festival 2013. Poured a dar ruby colour with a rocky tan head. Aroma was marmite saltiness, roast malt and coffee. Slight flavour of cheese with some dried fruit and brown sugar. Finishes with bitter burnt malts, earthy dryness and hints of Oxo... Not sure if all the salty flavours were deliberate.
