Christian (8548) - Odense, - AUG 23, 2009
Cask at Wenlock Arms. Chestnut with a lasting off-white head. Rich toffee and malt aroma with a little fruitiness. Sweet toffee flavour with raisins and prune. A slightly roasted finish gives a nice drying effect. Malty bitters don’t get much better.

Cask at Chapel Beer Festival. Clear dark red -brown beer. Semi dry palate. Low carbonation. Fresh malt, a little dark toffee. Just a little hop fruit but ultimately this is a malty beer. Not too dry or bitter. Finishes with some toffee apple.

Leighton (4095) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - APR 26, 2011
Cask at the Crosse Keys, JDW. Dark, clearish ruby-brown pour with a moderate head. Roasty malts on the nose with sour malts and hints of cocoa. Sour malt flavor, some tangy citrus, ripe dark fruits. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Faintly sweet finish, more sour malts, and a final impression of light roast. Not really into this.

On tap at Southampton Arms, Gospel Oak. Dark brown with a small head. A bit anonymous in the nose, displaying dry chocolate and a hint of apples in the mouth. Quite alright.
