hughie (2150), Bedford, Bedfordshire, England May 24, 2008 Cask, gravity, at Cambridge Beer Festival ’08. Copper amber with a small white head. I thought it was particularly nice looking. Old fashioned rounded malt aroma. There’s a little malty sweetness in the taste, but a sharp bitter finish is the dominant impression. I don’t think that it’s particularly well-balanced. berkshire_john (1035), Bracknell, Berkshire, England Mar 7, 2007 Cask at The Brunswick Inn, Derby. Reddish brown in colour with a white head; aroma of apples; sweet and nutty flavour, but also sour; with a sour and bitter finish. M0RHI (997), Luxembourg, Luxembourg Jul 7, 2006 Cask, Brunswick. Chestnut colour, small white head. Malt and hops, slightly floral, some yeastiness. Little bit of sulphur. Sweet carries through from taste to finish, little bitterness. Not too heavy, dry aftertaste. Normal bitter. maeib (3917), Wootton, Northampton, Northamptonshire, England Jun 29, 2006 Cask conditoned - handpump - Brunswick Derby. A ruby coloured beer which, although there’s no head to speak of leaves some pleasant lacing. The aroma has good fruits with blackcurrants seeming to stand out. The taste is good fruits and malts with more berries. Full bodied and tasty. DJMonarch (4091), Northwich, Cheshire, England Jan 17, 2006 Cask Stillage at the Bhurtpore Inn, Aston 10/07/2001
Amber coloured with a hint of whisky. Bitter finish.
