Cask @ Baum, Rochdale. Tawny-amber in colour with a frothy head. Feels thin in the palate, although maintains a very light tropical fruitiness in its aroma and taste.

Cask at GBBF 2015. It pours deep brown with a small, bubbly beige head. The nose is toasty, earthy roast, wood, soft berry, spice and damp leaves. The taste is dry, rich roast, earth, twiggy, wood, dirt, caramel, muted smoke and cocoa with a short, dry finish. Light -medium body and low carbonation. Pretty basic in my opinion. A bit dry and twiggy overall. Meh.

Cask at GBBF 2015, day 1 - London. Pours clear brown with a foamy off-white head. Grainy brown bread toast in the aroma. Light-medium sweet flavor, with damp earth and toffee. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Lightly sweet on the finish, with more earth, some burnt grains. OK.
