Cask pint in The Shrewsbury Hotel (Wetherspoons in Shrewsbury) on 2nd Oct 2017. Looked good, autumnal bronze body, off-white head that lasted. Strange aroma and taste though, dry/burnt caramel and unsweetened toffee came to mind, the aftertaste was very bitter. Not too sure if it was supposed to smell and taste like that, I tried to enjoy it and managed to finish the pint though.

Cask at Wetherspoons, Birmingham Airport. Poured a clear medium amber with a frothy white head and some clingy lace. The aroma is ovaltine malt, light woody hop. The flavour is moderate bitter with a silky smooth rich doughy biscuit malt, woody hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. A very decent and drinkable bitter. I'm actually disappointed that I only ordered a half.

Cask, half-pint, shared with Finn at The Raven. A beige head, spotty lacing, clear warm golden body. Earthy malts and fruity hops on the nose. Lemony hops to the flavour character, mild brown malty sweetness beneath. Dry moderate bitter finish. Drinks very well. A nice one. (Bath 03.05.2017).
