It would be interesting to know if this is linked with dark beers' tendency to form creamy heads, and to see comparative data for dissolved CO2. IIRC the Burtonwood dark mild I drank in the Cambridge in Liverpool in the mid-1970s was pressurised, but was nonetheless a very drinkable pint.Martyn Cornellhttp://zythophile.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-81354983864237646002010-12-10T02:31:06.218+00:002010-12-10T02:31:06.218+00:00Smoothflow = any cask ale served through a sparkle...Smoothflow = any cask ale served through a sparklerTimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02316570387878262483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-62428883878138690452010-12-09T22:46:24.050+00:002010-12-09T22:46:24.050+00:00Do you even speak English?
