Jul 12, 2009 [Cask at the Mount Pleasant Inn, Dawlish Warren] It was interesting to compare this side-by-side against Otter Bitter. This one’s a marginally darker amber colour but still has a slight, lasting white head. There’s a slight effervescence that the Bitter lacks, and a stronger aroma of hay. The straw and earth flavours are still there but in this beer are masked a little by a dose of brown sugar. This sweet stickiness ruins the mouthfeel a little and means that the Ale lacks some of the refreshment - and for me the enjoyment - of its lighter cousin.

Nicely balanced aroma of floral hops and lemony caramel with slight cardboard. Almost clear dark bronze with a patchy and lacy, white top. Nice gently citrus caramel flavour with significan bitterness. Sweet brown sugar, bitter almonds, very floral hops. Light body, moderate carbonation, lasting walnut, bitter finish.

Sep 30, 2008 A Mes rate: cask at Baker Street ’Sporks.
Full on copper colour with a slight off white collar. Fairly bland on the nose but the decent fruity malt gives it a good base. Sweet nutty notes with, trust me on this one, a pleasant hint of cheeseburger. Honestly. Very malty, almost no hops but it’s still a nice enough drop. Sweet malt finish but really, where are the hops?

Jun 21, 2008 Cask at the Golden Fleece, Nottingham. This copper beer with a fluffy head has a malty aroma. The flavour is sweet and very fruity at the start with hints of strawberry and then turns bitter for a dry finish.
