Cask (handpump) @ GBBF 2007, London. Light brown color with a small to average, fizzy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, roasted, caramel, chocolate, light burnt. Flavor is light to moderate sweet and light bitter with a average duration. Balance is not good. Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is flat.

Cask@GBBF2007. Amber colour, not much head. Aroma is much caramel, dark sugar, some hints of sweet malts. Flkavour is leather, sweet malts, some earthyness and wood. Leathery aftertaste.

Cask gravity at Reading BF 2007. Deep chestnut, lasting bubbly beige. Bit syrupy, good red berry fruit. Not a bad ESB. Decent hop on end.

Cask @GBBF 2011. Pours a dark brown color with a small off-white head. Has a fruity malty dark fruit aroma with hints of chocolate. Has a fruity malty caramel flavor with hints of dark fruit. Has a fruity malty caramel finish.

Bottle conditioned, 500ml from Bellingers Garage, Grove, Oxon. Rich chestnut colour with white head. Roasted coffee flavours initially, husky, with a reasonable bittersweet balance. Depth with a caramel note, a tad sweet perhaps, but overall a good, drinkable beer. Enjoyed it.

Cask conditioned - gravity dispense - Leicester BF. A light amber coloured beer. The aroma is malty and sweet with some alcohol noticeable. The taste is sweetish with some caramel. Some strange malty flavours but it works fairly well.

Dark copper pour without any head. Surprisingly earthy and almost dusty ale with more yeastiness than most. Dark flavoured in general, yet with a solid hop bite. It does not seem to know where it wants to head, staying away from any serious fruitiness, but heading hesitantly towards toasty flavours. Remains dry all along and more of a texture beer than flavour beer, perhaps some people prefer that for a session. Medium bodied, slow carbonation.

Bottle that I think that I picked up at The Real Ale Shop, Wells-next-the Sea, June 09 consumed 23-07-09 Pours copper in colour. The aroma is malty and milk chocolate. Soft in the mouth the milk chocolate comes through again, some bitterness, this is quite rich full bodied beer, good stuff. A7 A4 F7 P3 Ov14 3.5

(Cask at GBBF, London, 9 Aug 2007) Mahogany colour with brief beige head. Malty, nutty nose with hints of chocolate. Malty, nutty taste with notes of cold coffee and moderate bitterness in a fairly dry finish. Not too complicated, but fair enough.

Cask at GBBF 2011, Day 4. Pours dark brown with a foamy, white head. Light wood nose, some dark and ripe fruits. Mild toast, dough and fruits in the flavor. LIght bodied with fine carbonation. Pleasant and balanced finish. Faint leafe bitterness, a bit more wood and toat, ripe fruits. Very, very good stuff.
