Cask at the Cambridge Blue, Cambridge, 03-10-09 Pours almost mahogany in colour, with an off white head. Some appley and malty flavours come through, but if truth be told its a touch too sweet for me. A5 A4 F6 P4 Ov11 3.0
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Cask in the market porter. Alround rating: Roasty, bit of smoke in there, fruit plum character, not too much bittering hop. Mmm.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
A Mes rate. Cask at the Market Porter.
Chestnut brown with a thin off white head. Very dull on the nose. Thin malty fruity flavour that has a lot of caramel malt and very little else that I can pick out. Faint roasty notes in the finish but all round dull and uneventful.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Cask conditioned @ Hobgoblin, Reading. Brown. Roasty toasty malts with hints of chewed bread sweetness. Rounded off with leafy hops in the finish. A pleasant tipple.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Cask conditioned at The Woolpack, Banbury. Dark brown with cream head. Dark and full autumnal bitter with a sweetish, fruity aroma. Thickish mouthfeel and heavy, malty fruity flavour, quite smooth on the palate and a tangy hop to follow. Perhaps a little heavy on the finish, but pretty good beer.

UPDATED: JAN 8, 2007 Cask at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Copper/brown. Caramelly aroma. Sweetish with clean, chewy crystal malt character, notes of sugar and an intriguing flavour of black currant. Medium bitterness. Well balanced.
