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!

From cask at Charlies. Pours clear and golden deep amber with a small off white head. Aroma is roasted malt and slight overripe fruity. Fruity and hoppy,slight spiced flavoured with a lingering dry note. Bitter and dry hoppy finish. Nice one.

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.
