8/8/2025. Cask at GBBF 2025. Very good pour. Aroma is malted, roasted, burnt toffee, camp coffee, dried fruits, ashy edge. Moderate sweetness and medium bitterness. Medium body, quite smooth, soft carbonation. Quite liked this.

Cask at GBBF 25. Opaque brown. Frothy foamy beige head. Aroma has sweet edged berries with coffee granules. Flavourwise it has coffee and berries and really big intrusive bitter quinine streak. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Way too bitter and unbalanced.

1/3 cask at GBBF Winter. Golden pour with a creamy white head. Again with the golden bitters, and this one was off the marks (for me at least). Fruity, and citrusy, words I wouldn't usually associate with the style, and the whole thing had some soapy notes to it.

A 500ml winter warmer from Cotteridge Wines, best before Nov 21, pours clear yellow with the smallest head possible with next to no life in the body. Aromas & tastes of orange, lemon, apricot, caramel, toffee & bread. Moderate body. Long light bitter finish. Disappointing

Handpull cask at the King's Head, Leicester. Lighter gold, clear with a spotty white head. Grainy aroma, notes of salt water, some caramel. Bittersweet taste with bitterness increasing throughout. Lemon zest joins more traditional flavours in the finish. Light to medium body, not much carbonation. It's okay.
