Cask @ The Black Bull, Whitechapel. Pale amber with a thin white head. Basically, sweet toffee and appley malt, it’s like a liquified toffee apple. They might be good at the fairground, on a stick, but not in my beer glass. It’s only saving grace is the surprisingly full mouthfeel. I was slightly generous in the numbers due to my sweet tooth and it’s pure novelty value but honestly it’s far from good.

Cask conditioned - handpump - Malt Shovel Northampton. A copper coloured beer with a sweet malty aroma and taste. There were fruits noted in the taste but these seemed a bit unbalanced. An odd beer which I couldn’t get to grips with.
