Cask Conditioned at The Plough, Bodicote. In my opinion, and many others, this is Jim's finest. Dark Ruby Red almost Black in colour with a thick malty head. A blast of fruit and nut flavour bursts into the mouth on tasting. Ignore the strength rating, this varies enormously, at Banbury Beer Festival a Cask is held back for 6 months and is really in peak condition. This a chewey dark flavoufull beer that warms the cockles.

Oxford Beer Fest. Gravity. Mine was called Old English Porter with an abv of 4.4% - and I have a website which lists both the Porter and the Old English Porter, but the brewery's own website doesn't list the Old English. Waffle, waffle, waffle. It's late, and I've a belly full of beer. What am I saying? Who knows. Who cares. Who will even read this. Uhem.
Murky brown. Initial hit is very pleasing - a huge rush of licorice and sasparilla - but soon fades into a mustiness of little distinction. Some sour fruit and aged oak notes. Some slightly rancid raspberry. gets more interesting. Flavours swirl around. Mmmm. A curious beer. Fruit flavours becoming stronger. Interesting.
