Gravity cask at the Birmingham beer fest. Poured very dark brown with a medium head. Aroma was chocolate, roasted malt with some blackcurrant coming through at the end. Taste was blackcurrant throughout with lots of roasted malt at the end. Bit sweet in the finish.

Small coarse offwhite head. Amber body, very faintly hazy. Nutty gingery aroma with earthy floral notes. Dry-sweet earthy floral fruity taste with resiny gingery notes. Mid-bodied. Hottish, peppery mouthfeel. Dry strawy earthy fruity aftertaste with caramel notes. After you swallow it turns really hot and ingery. Dangerously moreish because of it. (0.5pt cask at The Rake, London.)

(Cask at Cask Pub & Kitchen, Pimlico, London, 6 Aug 2010) Golden amber colour with brief, white head. Fruity nose with notes of citrus, apricots and floral hops. Fruity taste with apricots, orange and floral hops in the finish. Light body, mainly dry. On the thin side and I expected a bit more of a hop punch, but it’s a fairly tasty and quite nice beer.

@ Royal Oak. Golden-amber. Floral, citrusy aroma with light caramel notes. Floral-chewy character with some late alcohol muscle, a bit unusual in an English pint.

at Royal Oak. Dark brown colour. Rich chocolate aroma with light coffee accents. Chocolatey taste - a bit thin but it's cask. Complex maltiness in the finish. Nice one!
