Cask at the Watford Town Beer Festival 2015. Deep amber with scummy head. Aroma of toffee, brown sugar and wet grass. Mid sweet flavour.
Handpull cask at the Queens Road Tap, Leicester as part of their Thornbridge Tap Takeover weekend. Light brown and clear with a ring of beige head. There's a woody, vinous smell to the beer with notes of forest floor, light potpourri, sarsaparilla. Sweet taste with a little dab of oaky sourness. There's more bitterness gathered in the earthy finish. Simple and satisfying.
On tap at The George, Moss, Norway, served at cellar temperature 10 deg, Pint glass, 98kr. Lovely looking deep amber colour with ok head. Nice bubbles and settles nicely. No sediment. Nice aroma to the beer. Styled as a bitter but i don´t think its that bitter. Nice smooth flavour with a slight bitterness. Definitely drink again.
From cask at Cardinal (horray, hooray, hooray!!!). Served by gravity in very good condition. And by this Cardinal proves its position as the best beer bar in Norway. Translucent dark golden. Fine off-white lacing and diminishing head. Fruity aroma with mediun roasted malt, berries and hints of herbs and yeast. Superb taste, with medium roasted malt, berries, marmalade and grass. Very good!
Cask (hooray!), gravity dispense, at Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. Brown colour, slightly hazy, small head. Decent natural carbonation. Malty aroma, a little fruit and yeast. The flavour is also malty but fairly dry, notes of yeast and earthy hops. Will probably be in even better nick a day later.
