Gravity cask at Olde England, Northampton. Mid-brown and translucent. Flat, no carbonation or head to speak of. Chocolate malt aroma with the slightest hint of sarsaparilla. Sweet malty and chocolatey taste. A bittering hop note holds the sweetness back for the balanced finish. Light body. I appreciate what Phipps is doing with bringing back these traditional recipes. Some leave a lot to be desired, but this one’s pretty good.

Handpull cask at the Albion Brewery Tap, Northampton. Reddish brown with a small loose off-white head. Leather smell with some chocolate fudge and biltong. Sweet taste with savoury meaty overtones. Light, almost watery palate. A Sunday lunch stout, bold in its originality but maybe not my cup of tea.
