A Mes rate: Cask at Baker St. ’Sporks.
Translucent brown with a thin off white head. Thin and watery. Nutty malt and nothing too pleasant about it. Ash tray and fake fruit finish. Next!

chriso (7065) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - JAN 15, 2006
Cask (handpump), Knights Templar (JDW), Chancery Lane, London. Not very wintry maybe, but a damned nice beer. Bright copper colour. Good mix of toasty malt and tangy hops on the nose. More rich malt and decent bitterness on the palate. Dry but not too arid. Very clean mouthfeel. Went down nicely.

<a href=http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/15/153 Chancery Lane Roasty quality to this best bitter lifts it into a pseudo stout. Tasty and somewhat interesting.

Spiesy (2336) - Sydney, Greater London, AUSTRALIA - JAN 13, 2004
Cask conditioned at the Wenlock Arms, London. </br> Amber with a fine white head. Tainted malt aroma and flavour. Hints of asparagus, which, despite the sound of it isn’t intolerable at all.
