fiulijn (10383) - Como, - DEC 13, 2008
<i>Cask Conditioned at Market Porter, London</i>
Hazy red-amber color. It has a mild but nice malt and caramel aroma, light hops, a bit perfumy, floreal. But the flavor is much simpler, just waterish caramel; correct bitterness. Ordinary.

MesandSim (7109) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - OCT 12, 2009
A Mes rate. Cask at the Market Porter.
Orange amber colour with a good off white head. Vanilla and diacetyl with some orange bite and a strange malty note in the finish. Not great.

Svesse (4389) - Hässelby, SWEDEN - DEC 10, 2008
Cask at Wenlock Arms, London, 22 Nov 2008. Reddish brown colour with brief, beige head. Malty, nutty nose with dark fruit and caramel. Malty taste with notes of dark fruit, raisins, prunes, cherries and a slightly bittersweet finish. Medium body, rather sweet. Good standard bitter. Nice but hardly stunning.

downender (4382) - Bristol, Gloucestershire, ENGLAND - DEC 7, 2008
Cask-conditioned at the brewery tap, the Lamb, Frome, 6/12/08. Reddish amber with no head. Sweet, sugared fruit and caramel aroma. Flavour was syrupy, with a hint of diacetyl, some more fruitiness and a short, bitter finish. Not my favourite Blindmans beer by a long way.
