UPDATED: JAN 28, 2022 Cask Handpump at Penny Black, Northwich 10/10/2011 Creamy head. Floral and malt aromas. Copper mid brown coloured a little rich on the palate and fruity with a hint of dryness in a bitter full malt finish. (JDW Festival beer # 45)

Cask Pint – JDW Fest Autumn 2011 in Nov 2011 - Dark Brown in colour with Reddish highlights. Malty; toasty roasty malts, caramel, some chocolate, hint of nuts. Hoppy; hop bitterness. Fruity; some berry fruits. Nice malt/hop/fruit balance. Slightly bitter malty hoppy throughout. Drinkable. (2011-11-06)

Robe cuivrée. Arômes de céréales, pas grand chose d?autre. Goût de caramel brûlé. légères notes d’agrumes et de fruits confits. Heureusement plutôt courte en bouche. Pas franchement ma tasse de thé.

What I tried had little aroma, though this may be from allergies. The flavor profile is kind of limited, no one thing punches through and I was left feeling like I missed something, it left the slightly bitter finish without anything significant to complement.

Rather mild aroma and taste. The appearance looks rich with a nice white head. Overall, nothing special but not bad at all.

Nice flavor, even on the palate. The appearance has great color. The aroma is light. Compliments my gyro nicely.

Crosse Keys Spoons. Clear dark amber beer, tidy pale tan head. Light dry palate. Whisper of sulphur. Orange and red fruits underneath the toffee malt. Subtle bubblegum ester. Dry finish. Okay.

Tasted this in The Esquire House, Glasgow (JDW) in October 2011. Cask, handpump dispense. Clear pale mahogany in colour with a thin white head. Cracked walnuts in the short aroma. Thin mouthfeel and good lacing throughout. Pale malt base gives a rich maltloaf flavour with juicy raisins evident. Slight citric notes of satsumas leading to the dusty bitter aftertaste. Finish is malty with syrupy sweet raisins. An excellent version of a Scottish premium export.

Cask conditioned Handpump Four Candles Oxford. A regular brown coloured beer with a touch of white head and lacing. A sweet and toasty beer. Nice caramel notes. Malty and bready. Clean and smooth. Decent enough.
