Bottle, from Doddington Hall Farm Shop. Golden brown, thin shortlived white head and low condition. Gentle melon fruit and earthy hops in the nose, very soft and quite caramel sweet in the mouth initially but with a developing hoppy bitterness and some nuttiness, finish is slightly dry and hoppy with more lingering nutty notes.

Cask (handpump) at the Roebuck Inn (JD Wetherspoon), Nottingham on 13 July 2012. Darkish amber. Dryish malt on the aroma. Good balance of nutty malt and earthy hop on the palate. Very drinkable. Firm bitter finish. A solid, traditionally styled English bitter with plenty of flavour and not too much Crystal malt. Described on the brewery website as a seasonal but I have no idea which season as it seems to have been seen in all of them!

On cask at white lion, fewcott. Pours red brown with off white head. After a porter the taste took a while to take hold. Caramel hints, fruit and a very chuggable ale

Cask@Market Porter, London. Deep reddish amber colour with a small off-white head. Aroma is sweet malts, some raisins, mild notes of sweetness as some slight earthyness. Flavour is fruity, wooden, herbal and mildly nutty with some raisins as well as sweet malty notes. Very nicely balanced and pleasant. Somewhere between a bitter and a mild ale.
