Cask handpull at Henrys Sheffield. Mid brown lasting beige head. Odd to find so many ales in a trendy spot like this with music that isnt music but is just a drum beat and the beer is too cold and too tight a sparkler. So it deadens most of the flavour. Some yeast on aroma. Some nutty fruity malt in mouth some vague hop on finish. A bitter

Cask, handpump at The Riverhead Brewery Tap, Marsden, West Yorkshire, 22.04.11 Pours rusty red to amber with good clarity and a medium white creamy textured head. Some pear drops on the nose detected by Loz. Soft in the mouth, reasonably full flavoured, but touch sweet, and surprisingly a little on the warm side, not something that I had encountered with there other beers. Its ok. A6 A5 T6 P3 Ov12 3.2

Cask, handpump at The Riverhead Brewery Tap, Marsden, West Yorkshire, 22.04.11 Pours mid gold with stunning clarity, clearing lovely, good creamy head. Nice enough beer, some sulphour on nose, quite simple and a little bit thin. Hoppiness could do with ramping up a bit, little bit of sweetness, its ok. A6 A5 T6 P3 Ov13 3.3

Cask at the Euston Tap. Pours a lightly cloudy, red-brown with a dense, cream head. Malty aroma with caramel, honey, mild toast and some faint, leafy hops. Flavor is very sweet, more caramel and golden raisin, with a light, herbal bitterness. Light to medium in body with fine, smooth carbonation. Finishes sugary, with light toast malts and hints of caramel. Not super dynamic, but highly drinkable.

Cask-conditioned at the Bag ONails, Bristol 8/12/08. pale gold with a billowing white head. Big aroma of citrus and floral hops. Flavour began with a touch of sweetish malt, before the hops took over again with plenty of elder flowers, citrus and a decent dry finish. A lot going on for a 3.6% beer.

Cask-conditioned at The Royal Oak, Bath 6/9/08. Near black in colour with a slight tan head. Aroma was full of roastiness with a hint of dark fruit. More of the same in the flavour, with a short bitter finish. Good stuff.

Cask handpull at The Ship & Mitre pub beer festival, Liverpool. Black, thin light tan head. Roasted malt aroma. Liquorice is there in mouth. More a dry rounded liquorice than sour as I was expecting. Slightly smokey too. Really a rather tasty stout. Lots going on. Very good liquorice, coffee, choc, bit of hop on end. Bitter. Good.
