COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask, Seasonal, Autumn;
We have used only the finest maris otter malted barley, blended with 3 different hop varieties, to brew this sophisticated, quaffable and exciting autumn ale. It is very complex, full of malt, ruby red in colour, silky smooth with a hint of pepper and that 'wickwar long dry finish

Cask conditioned at The Turf Tavern, Oxford. Brown to russet with slight head. Sweet with a malty fruitiness with a background caramel toffee character. Sweetish and slightly earthy, a touch of blackberry. It’s ok.

UPDATED: NOV 12, 2007 A Mes rate: Cask at The Volunteer, Baker Street.
Sweet malted nose with some caramel. Great dark red colour with a surprisingly well behaved tan head. Malted flavour with more caramel and some sweet toffee apple. Finishes well, more sweetness but with a lick of spicy alcohol.

St Albans (05): Amber in colour. Mildly malty aroma. Some fruits, but mostly just boring malts and earthy hops. Another bitter.

Cask (gravity dispense), St Albans Festival, October 2005. Nice deep bronze colour. Heavy diacetyl aroma (although others didn’t seem to pick this up), backed up with dull malt. Not much else going on for me. Not in peak condition. Re-rate if possible.

Spiesy (2336) - Sydney, Greater London, AUSTRALIA - NOV 3, 2005
Cask Conditioned, at the Market Porter.
Deep amber body sporting and attractive head. Wonderful full bodied aroma, most welcome after the Lavender beer. Sweet honey malts are simple but plenty drinkable
