Cask, on gravity at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol October 2015. Chestnut in colour, with a slight, off-white, head. Sweet, nutty, malts, a touch of fruit, cocoa, caramel sweetness and a moderately bitter finish. Ok.

Third of a pint in the Moon Under Water, Boston Lincolnshire on 2nd Nov 2015. Malty lead to this reddy brown bodied beer, some hop notes in the nose and finish but otherwise biscuit maltiness all the way. Decent enough Mild, wish more breweries would brew one now and again.

Cask at The Bishops’ Mill (JDW), £1.89/pint Ruby brown pour with a thick, creamy, cream-coloured head. The nose is sweetish with grassy, grainy notes abound. The taste opens with a smoky bitterness and treacle toffee flavours, evocative of bonfire night and edged with earth and wood. The finish is short and sweet with caramel malts clear but well tempered by the smokiness, making this very drinkable. Very good on the whole.

Cask at JDW WIQ, London. It pours a clean rich copper / light brown with minimal tan head. Aroma is sweet biscuity malty with light dried leaves. Tate has more malts biscuit bread mixed nuts. Overall, ok

Cask at the moon under water Watford jdw. Mild tick! Reddy amber coloured pour with a lasting greyish cream coloured head. Aroma is nutty toffee, red berry, praline. Flavour is composed of raw nutty malts, butterscotch and toffee, melinoidin sugars, red current, tangy fruit. Palate is semi sweet, ,light tang, moderate cask condition. Little rum and raisin lingers.

On cask at the Standing order. Appearance - amber with a decent head Nose - loads of toffee slightly burnt. Taste - more of the same. Molasses. Palate - close to medium bodied with a tangy texture and a finish that is a bit cloying. Overall - not bad but not really worth going back.

Cask, deep brown with a lacing head, fresh hoppy nose, palate is properly hoppy yet also malty-sweet underneath. Finish is dry hopy bitterness with a touch of caramel. Excellent.

Cask at the Ralph Fitz Randal (JDW), Richmond. Medium white head. Amber body. Hops, spice. Bitter with a dry finish.
