Cask at the Square & Compass, Dorset. It pours clear amber with a small white head. The aroma is toasted grain, bitter - sweet, cereal, biscuit and floral notes. The taste is crisp, bitter, toasted grain, floral notes, elderflower, biscuit and a touch of white pepper. Light - medium body and fine carbonation. A fairly standard LB Golde, but pretty drinkable anyways.

On cask @ the Haymarket. Appearance - deep amber with a decent head. Nose - toffee, prunes and biscuit. Taste - more of the same plus maybe some wood spice. Palate - medium bodied with a creamy texture and a nice rich but balanced finish. Overall - a really nice pint.
