Oh my Lord. Like BeerHeadZ but better. Maybe. The usual four cask and four keg, except I think there's about six keg now and the choice is wonderfully insane. Enjoying a Vinohradský 11 but there are so many wonderful beers available here from the UK and beyond. Its a gorgeous little kicropub that seats about 20 people I side hut the outside patio seating has been extended to seat again as many. Worth checking out for a beer or four.

Keg draught at the Barley Twist, Nottingham. Brownish black, opaque with the tiniest possible off-white head. Nutty aroma with some milk chocolate. Taste is full of chocolate, pistachio, caramel. Light bitterness on the finish but overall this is a sweet beer. Medium body with soft and inobtrusive carbonation. I'd like more but I'm OK with what I have.

Handpull cask at the Dandy Cock Ale House, Kirkby-in-Ashfield. Light to mid-brown,not particularly translucent with a thick beige/khaki head. Dark malts aroma with notes of smoke and smoked meats. Sweet taste, quite hea y for a mild, more sweaty deluxe meat character. Finishes meatily. Medium body, soft to nil carbonation. A hard sell.

6.8/10 — Appearance 9 Aroma 6.5 Flavor 6 Texture 7 Overall 6.5

Draught keg at the brewery tap, Sutton-in-Ashfield. Dark brown, opaque with a big but quickly dissipating khaki head. Massive coffee aroma with floral and liquorice characters. Some earth and a little hit of tobacco. Complex taste, bittersweet with flashes of umami. Getting coffee, molasses, lavender. Medium body and carbonation. A little strange but still nice.
