Cask at the Claret. It pours clear amber with a small off-white head. The aroma is brown bread, cereal, rivita, earth and toasted nut. The taste is bitter, grainy, toasted nut, earth, caramel, spicy, hay and wood with a dry finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Tastes a bit astringent after a while. A fairly basic bitter by any measure.

Gravity cask at the Rose & Crown, Sandhurst. A glossy black pour with a loose tan head; aroma of burnt sugar; rather thin in the mouth with a caramel taste and some raw sugar; then a long dry finish with cinder toffee, drinking chocolate and weak coffee. A good opener to the Haloween Beer Festival.

Handpull cask at the Earl of Beaconsfield, Cambridge. Reddish brown, translucent, with a reddish-tan head on top. Malt smell with a hint of resin. Some butterscotch in there as well which isn’t quite as welcome.tastes sweet enough but mostly nondescript. A bit of berry at the end. Hoppy bitter finish in the back of the tongue. I’m not all that keen but it’s drinkable.

Cask at the Tilly Shilling (JDW), Farnborough. A deep golden chestnut pour with a thin cream head; sweet aroma with a trace of smoke; smooth and sweet in the mouth, very lightly smoked with just a hint of bacon; then a caramel finish. Very subtle, I was expecting something with much more smoke.
