Bottle at Fin & Loz’s tasting with Jan, Charlotte, Craig, Stella & kids consumed 21.10.11 This bottle purchased at My Favourite Beers shop, Cheltenham May 2011 Pours dark amber with a medium carbonatiomn, the head is light beige. This is soft in the mouth, though there is some alcohol showing which is a little too up front and showy for my liking. Quite dry throughout with caramel and dark fruits also making there mark.

On cask at JDW, Maindee, Newport. Vinegar start, quite a full malt start, average but the beers in this pub did not seem right to me.

Cask conditioned handpump Moon On The Square Northampton. An amber coloured beer with a whitish head and lacing. A big fruity beer with big malts. It has a disappointing amount of diacetyl but the body is just big enough to survive it. It’s drinkable.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Cask handpull, The Baron. Murky, slim-lidded brown beer with a dominating, heavily buttered liquorice flavour. Sneaking nutty tones, digestive biscuit. All butter and malt seriousness. Positively dripping with diacetyl. Not to my taste.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Cask handpull The Drum JDW Leyton. Deep amber with slight haze. Thin lasting beige head. Rich sweet malty fruity aroma. Fullish in mouth with some dryness and lots of rich malty fruit. Pleasant to have a Bath beer without diacetyl. Tasty ESB. Reminds me of what Abbot Ale used to taste like. Tasty and full.
