GBBF Day 1. Cask. Muddy brown beer, tiny tan head. Smooth palate, semi dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Soft rich dark malts, sourish. Creamy dark malts on the back end, sourish chocolate. A mess to be frank, well on cask anyway...

Cask at the Great British Beer Festival 2017 - London. Pours hazy gold with a creamy, white head. The nose holds tangy strawberry, light herbal notes. Light to medium sweet flavour, lightly jammy, has some citrus, melon, a bit of salty sweat. Medium bodied with fine carbonation, somewhat oily. Finishes with notes of salt, lemon, faint strawberry and very slight herbal notes. Fun.

Cask at GBBF '22 day 1, 02/08/22. Black with a tan cap that dissipates edgewards. Nose is dark malts, chocolate, baking powder, charr, dried fruit esters. Taste comprises cocoa powder, roast malts, dried fruits, charr, spice, toffee, ashen tones, light burnt edge. Full bodied, soft carbonation, drying close. Decent easy sipper for such a high boost cask affair but ultimately lacking depth to the flavour profile.
