Cask @ Charlies, Cph.
Pours hazy, deep amber with a small, creamy, off-white head. Fine duration. Lovely aroma, caramel, berries, malts and flowery hops. Low carbonation, fine and dry mouthfeel. Flavour starts sweet and malty, then comes a touch of pepper and a nice dose of flowery hops. Just a hint of chocolate. Very dry finish. Nice!

Cask at Guildford Arms, Edinburgh. Amber coloured, small white head, fruity nose. Malty, aromatic hoppy and mild smoke taste with nutty notes. Odd hint of glue in the finish.

Cask, King’s Head, Carlisle. Rich, smoky and malty with a bitter, almost metallic, edge that continues well into the finish. This is offset by a soft, peaty aroma but it’s a little too harsh a beer for me.
