DruncanVeasey (1620), Burbage, Leicestershire, England Jan 10, 2008 En Burbage. Clear conker red with a head of Gillette. Not convinced I should be entering this under the ’cask’ version, but it was a pulled pint in a pub. Varnishy walnut malt aroma. Palate of milk. Bitter nuthusk maltiness softened slightly by raisin and toffee. Grew on me slowly, but I didn’t finish it. DJMonarch (4091), Northwich, Cheshire, England Feb 7, 2006 1. Cask Handpump at the Blue Cap, Sandiway 14/09/2002
Mid brown coloured malty and fruity. Slightly dry whisky finish.
2. Cask Handpump at the Old Glove Works, Glossop 30/08/2003
Golden amber and fruity with some spice aroma. Slightly dry malt finish.
3. Cask Handpump at the Penny Black, Northwich (JDW) 15/10/2004
Amber coloured hoppy and slightly strong in alcohol. Some bitterness in a full malt finish. chris_o (4405), London, Greater London, England Nov 11, 2004 Copper colour. Mainly malty, with some sweetness. Fruity flavour, with some hop bitterness coming through on the finish. Middle of the road. Cask (handpump) at the Brunant Arms, Caio, Wales.
CampbellWilson (533), Scotland Oct 24, 2004 Cask at the Traveller’s Rest, Grasmere. Copper Brown. Sparse head. Good quality malt and hops mix in aroma and taste. Lasting hop finish. Spiesy (2330), Global Citizen, Greater London, England Sep 8, 2003 Jennings Cross Buttick Cask Conditioned, at the Wenlock Arms, London. Tan brown body with a super bright white, shinny head. Sherry textured supported by sweet nutty flavours. Good bitter finish and palate. An out of the ordinary ale, the kind that keep you coming back to the Wenlock for more.
