Cask gravity at Tonbridge Siba 2014. Black beer lasting tan head. Great condition. Sour woody aroma. Ok chocolate. Sour dark fruits plum and damson. Strangely ok. Oak fruit and chocolate and sour. Odd. Not terrible but certainly challenging.

Cask at Westow House. It pours clear amber with a tiny white head. The nose is toasty, brown bread, caramel, honey, grain and light spice. The taste is toasty, earth, citric, brown bread, hay, leather and muffin with a dry finish. Light - medium body and soft carbonation. Not terribly exciting, but drinkable enough.

Bright clear gold beer, small pale cream coloured head. Palate is smooth but pretty dry and with low carbonation. Malt is light and dry with some caramel. Mildly bitter hops, whisper of citrus. Dry finish. Itโ€™s all a bit dry and flaccid and doesnโ€™t go down well.

Draft House Tower Hill, Cask. Clear deep amber - brown beer, tidy pale tan head. Palate is smooth and slightly soft. Slight viscosity and mellow carbonation. Smooth malt, little cream. Just whispers of coffee and dark malt character. Pleasant juniper, well integrated and with nicely balanced fruit and spice. Finishes smooth. A tasty and unusual porter.
