Gravity cask at the Draymans Son, Ely. Mid-brown, very translucent with a ring of off-white head. Strong scent of chocolate malt with some fresh caramel, sweet and simple. Taste starts incredibly sweet without cloying, and there’s a fantastic little hoppy bitter twist at the end. Proper chocolatey and worth giving a go.

Cask at the Drayman’s Son. Ruby red with little discernible carbonation. Malty smell, some oak, forest floor. Malt also dominates the taste, but there is a strong bitter edge to the finish. Not all that bad.

Light session bitter. White lacing. Pretty dull. I don't understand the point of a bit of bitter and torrified wheat and 30 ibus at a push
