3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
First tasted this in The Esquire House, Glasgow (JDW) in October 2001. Cask , handpump dispense. Crystal clear mahogany red in colour with a thick creamy white head. Slight hint of black cherry fruit in the short nose. Creamy so smooth mouthfeel and good lacing. Pale malts give smooth maltloaf base with redcurrant fruit, ripe brambles and blackcurrants. Spicy hops give a decent prickle in the dry aftertaste. Woody notes give a dry yet fruity finish. A really good session ale this.

Cask at the Cleveland Arms, London. Pours a clear, ruby-chestnut with a thin, white head. Fuity malt aroma with light nuts. Sweet, semi-boozy flavor with mild grape and cherry, and faint, earthy bitterness. Medium in body with soft carbonation. Some alcohol notes in the finish, with wood, dark malts and modest hops. So so.
