Gravity cask at the at the Bishop’s Stortford Beer Festival 2015, Royal British Legion. Dark reddish brown, translucent, with a beige head. Light aroma of Ovaltine, biscuit, vanilla. Pleasant sweet taste which is tempered by the right amount of barely there-buttering hop. Hints of milk chocolate and malt. Longer finish that you’d expect from such a simple beer. Enjoyable if forgettable mild. Too ’easy drinking’ for my taste.

Cask-conditioned at some pub in Sheffield, 2/12/2014. Mahogany in colour, with a slight, off-white, head. Sugary sweetness, followed by plum fruit with a slightly vinous edge, which faded away to a gentle finish. Unusual and drinkable.

Cask gravity at Pig’s Ear 2014. It pours darkest brown with a tiny white head. The nose is soft, roasty, chocolate, salted caramel, hot cocoa and earth. The taste is bitter-sweet, roasted malt, earthy, good bitterness, wood, tar, dried leaves, leather and cocoa with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. A quaffable porter says me.
