Cask at Shrewsbury Arms, Stafford (not on RB yet) Pours an extremely dark reddish brown with a generous cream head. A nice aroma of vanilla with hints of woodsmoke. Texture is creamy, with taste of dark fruits, liquorice and a little milky coffee. The finish is fruity, but in a gentle way. Nice enough, but doesnโt really have much โstoutโ characteristic.

Hand-pulled cask pint at The Crown Inn, Oakengates Shropshire on 18th Oct 2019. Dark brown brew with plenty going on. Lasting beige head that gave some heavy lacing. Malty molasses rule the nose and flavours, some decent bitterness from the hop content also. Liked it.

Quite good.

Handpull cask at the Salmon, Leicester. It's a comely little beer: straw-coloured and clear with a big and slightly fluffy white head. The smell brings up a lot of things: soap, lemon zest, grapefruit, maybe a touch of wet dog. My nose gets used to it and decides that it's actually quite pleasant. Bittersweet taste with pithy bitter hops, and a slight atringency toward the finish. More grapefruit and a littlr soap in the aftertaste. The light body is nicely lifted by natural carbonation as this beer is in perfect condition. Verdict: unlikely to go down in hiatory as one of the great APAs but it's certainly a pleasant cask sessioner.
