bobinlondon (215), Harrow, Greater London, England Jul 9, 2008 Handpulled at Crosse Keys, Monument, London, during recent International beer fest. Red/brown with off-white small head. Nice and malty in a lgerish way but I expect more body from a bock beer despite this one’s comparitively low strength. Not that impressed and bewildered that this was voted beer of the festival! leaparsons (3878), Leicester, Leicestershire, England Apr 27, 2008 Cask, The Highcross, Leicester. Dark amber brown with a small head. Aromas are light weetabix and chocolate malts. Flavours are very mooth chocolate malts with a light fruitiness. More like a brown mild. Peppery on the finish. Too light. Mes_and_Sim (4176), London, Greater London, England Apr 22, 2008 A Mes rate: Cask at Baker St Sporks. Hazy amber with a thin off white head. Slightly metallic hop aroma with big fruity notes and rather a lot of sugar. Straight forward fruity malt flavour with a bit of a salty note. Very dull. wyzzywyz22 (294), Wirral, Merseyside, England Apr 15, 2008 Cask, Hoylake Lights (JDW). Looked promising enough -reddish brown with lasting white head. Slightly sweet aroma with hint of caramel. Some maltiness in the flavour but a really insipid and watery feel to this. Really disappointing.
A chore to drink. chimp_lechamp (342), glasgow, Scotland Apr 14, 2008 cask at weatherspoons sauchiehall- pours reddish brown little head, smells really nice, buttered biscuity cooky some bread, great malty character, tastes same slightly salty and clean lemony finish.
