Cask @ Richard Oastler, Brighouse. Very dark amber with a creamy head. It’s mildly smoked with fair ham notes in its nose and has a malty underbelly, and hoppy dark malts.

Bottle from Asda, High Wycombe. I have to say I'm quite a fan of 6X on cask - it's possibly my favourite bitter from any of the UK's traditional family brewers. Up until now, though, I've never got around to trying the bottled version. So, here goes. It's deep amber with a lasting beige head and a moderate fizz. It smells and tastes malty, with caramel and chocolate raisins. There's a little woodiness. The pasteurised note is less evident than in some supermarket bottled bitters (although it is still there), but it's definitely thinner and fizzier than on cask. So... definitely not as good as the cask version, but it is one of the better bottled interpretations of cask bitters, and unlike many of its compatriots I still enjoyed it.

1/3 pint, cask at Rockingham Arms. Shared with Finn. Deep copper coloured body, low off-white head, faint lacing. Moderate smell of dried fruits and toffee. Berry-fruity flavours added by mild caramel malts. Ends rather dry and sweet. Fair enough. (London 16.11.2021).

Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol 29 october 2021. Deep amber in colour with a moderate, off-white head. Big aroma of caramel, red fruit and smoke. Flavour was sweet, with plenty of doughy malt, crystallised fruit and a touch of the distinctive Wadworth yeast character. Good.
