On cask in London. I’d had this in bottle but enjoyed the cask better. Amber body again with big head. Sweet aroma. Tastes of malt and caramel. All around pretty good.

On cask in Oxford UK. What a nice bitter. Reddish and small head. Tastes of toasted caramel and a bit of malt. Nice long bitter aftertaste.

Off-white head. Looks all sorts of alive in the really bubbly body, which clears up into a cloudy amber color. Kinda weak aroma. Nice and bitter. Pretty malty. Medium body.
