fiulijn (6120), Como; Lausanne (CH); Malmö (SWE), Italy Nov 28, 2008 <i>Cask Conditioned at J.D. Wetherspoon - The Knight’s Templar, London</i><br />Amber color. Simple aroma, light honey. The sweet caramel flavor is pleasant, with a light touch of cookies, balanced, easily drinkable, with correct final bitterness. Easy but pleasant.
Ethereal (1167), London, Greater London, England Jan 2, 2009 Cask at JDW in Hammersmith during "Spoons Fest in a Day" crawl, 2nd Nov 08. Rich amber, little bit of lace. Malty and full bodied with an interesting taste. Lots of nice toffee and caramel flavours. cgarvieuk (2796), Edinburgh, Scotland Jan 1, 2009 cask at JDW edinburgh ...WELL FIRST OFF LETS JUST SAY I LIKED THIS WAY MORE THAN THE AVERAGE ... amber ... light malt light hazelnut nose ... mellow fruity malts ... some toffee... ligth chocolate ... and hazelnut ... TK2 as i defintly wanted a 2nd the next day ... very nutty very tasty ... could see the nuttyness getting too much over several pints. Doppelganger (1260), Oxford, Oxfordshire, England Dec 30, 2008 Cask, The Four Candles, Oxford. Warm copper, dense light tan head. Slightly sulfury nose, a bit of vague spice. Smells a little like the spice drawer in my mom’s kitchen, where every known spice is present but most of them aging into soft vagueness. Pleasant overall, but without any clear focus. Softly sweet malt, a touch of mineral in the finish. Less distinctive than I’d hoped for. leaparsons (4180), Leicester, Leicestershire, England Dec 29, 2008 Cask, Last Plantagenet, Leicester. Brown with a small cream head. Aromas are weetabix malts with nutty notes, spicy and peppery. Flavours are chocolate and weetabix malts with nutty notes. Some citrus with earthy, spicy hops. A touch different but decent. Magicdave6 (4153), London, Greater London, England Dec 16, 2008 Cask in the cross keys and the new crown. Malty, bready, old cellar, slightly mouldy, some dry grassy hop. Not good!
