Hand-pulled pint in the Mount Pleasant, No Mans Land, Devon on 4th August 2022. Clean amber body, off-white crown. Light caramel aroma and taste, tempered by a mini citrussy fruitiness. More a 'Cooking' bitter than a 'Best' in my opinion.

Cask at Borough Arms, Crewe. Pours the classic “bitter brown” with a small off-white head and good lacing. The solid aroma features mainly malts and raisins. Sweet malts are the brief initial sensation in the mouth, before sharp bitterness comes through with autumn fruits and fruit cake, plus underlying caramel. Much later there are traces of spices to be found. Overall varies randomly between slightly sweet and slightly bitter. Finish is malty. This is a good traditional strong bitter.
