Cask at Shrewsbury Arms, Stafford (25/9/23). Pours a very dark reddish-brown with a small cream head. There’s roast malts and liquorice in the aroma. In the mouth it has a creamy texture but is also blightly bitter and somewhat watery. Flavour has liquorice and aniseed plus hints of coffee grounds, leading to a bitter finish. This is quite decent.

Cask at GBBF '23, day 2, 02/08/23. Clear golden blonde with a decent lasting white head. Nose is pale malts, grass, grains, leafy aroma. Taste comprises lemon rinds, straw, herb, grains, pale malts. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close. Rather bland and docile for a 5% affair ... miss!

Cask at Bird in Hand, Stafford. Pours a pale straw with a sizeable foamy white head and good lacing. The aroma has berry fruits plus some malts. In the mouth it starts off sweet and juicy but gradually becomes bitter. Main flavours are floral hops and apples plus some traces of generic citrus and low carbonation. Finish is quite bitter and slightly dry. This is decent and distinctly quaffable.

Handpull cask at the Salmon, Leicester. Very light gold and clear with a perfect little white head on top. Smoky malt aroma with light orchard fruit. Sweet taste at first with an increasing bitterness in the aftertaste. Thin body with soft carbonation. This is a pretty good beer and slightly different from the descriptions in the other rates so I'm wondering if they've refined the recipe or if I'm just easy.
