Bottle at home to wash down a pizza lunch. Really not great and a certain element of home brew to it. Drinkable but not one to repeat

Bottle at home from a random garden centre driving back from a couple of business meetings in Essex. I then had to collect dog 1 from the dog repair shop and drop daughter 2 at drama. This beer was needed. Bit of crud in the bottle and overall a standard bitter.

Cask at Smithfield, Derby. Pours a very dark reddish-brown with a small cream head and good lacing. The aroma is mainly oats but with some hints of dark fruits too. Roasted malts to the fore in the mouth, alongside and hints of liquorice and chocolate. Later on there are traces of raisins and ginger as well. Finish is malty and slightly dry. This is a decent stout.
