(Cask at Oliver Twist, Stockholm, 6 May 2011) Reddish amber colour with foamy, beige head. Malty, fruity nose with notes of caramel, orange, dried apricots and slightly dusty hops. Malty, fruity taste with dried fruit, hints of caramel, dried apricots and dusty hops in the finish. Rather light body, fairly sweet. Decent, but rather middle-of-the-roadish.

Cask at OT in Stockholm, on May 7, 2011
Clear brown color, dense tan head, just beautiful. Taste starts off malty almost acidic, though quickly turns very bitter and dry. Smooth aftertaste first, then dry harsh bitter mouthfeel. Smooth fruity scent. Fairly high dry bitterness.
For me needs to be more malty and balanced and less dry and bitter..

Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm. Clear dark amber. Caramel and butterscotch. Mid sweet, medium bodied. Fruity, buttery and caramelly. Fairly low bitterness..

cask @ Eight Bells Dover. Brownisch colour, dry mouthfeel, light and bitter with a touch of caramel and chocolate. Rather dry and bitter.

Cask@Southampton Arms. Deep amber colour, small beige head. Aroma is nutty, a bit spicy along with some fruity, wooden and slightly honeyish notes. Flavour is toffee, caramel malts, quite big on the wooden bitterness. Also some spices and mild nutty notes as it warms up a bit.

Cask at the Southampton Arms London on 26 July 2010. Hazy copper with cruddy white head. Sweet malt and fairly light grass hop. Smooth mouthfeel and increasingly dry finish but a background sweetness remains. Drinkable, but not a personal favourite.

Cask, gravity at The Pig ’n’ Falcon, Cambridgeshire. Amber. Cleaning fluid malt aroma, not meant in a bad way. Slightly clunky hairy malt taste. Medium bitter finish. Had an old fashioned regional brewery taste. Middling.

Cask conditioned at The Ship, Deal. Amber with white head. Chunky dry malty bitter with reasonable hop impact. Quite a roasty caramel, nutty note in the body, with a dry refreshing finish. Solid.
