Cask handpull at County Hotel, JDW, Ashford. Biscuity bitter and rather drinkable. Some yeast character, but a very drinkable bitter I thought.

Cask, Lloyds, Carlisle. Impressed with this, but then again, Woodfordes do brew some great stuff. A fruity red-brown ale, plenty of hops, great refreshing taste, yet slightly warming on the way down. Medium dry aftertaste, crisp and flavoursome.

Cask, Last Plantagenet, Leicester. Bronze with an off-white head. Aromas are toffee and tea with Autumn fruit and chocolate. Earthy with peppery hops. Flavours are dry and peppery with earthy pear and some sweet toffee. Some dark syrup with light grapefruit bitterness. Well balanced.

Cask - West Gate Inn (JDW), Canterbury. Dark chestnut brown with a medium, creamy white head, leaving good, compact lacing. Subdued fruity & biscuity malt aromas and some caramel. A nice malty, fruity sweetness with a light touch of grassy bitterness in the finish. Soft carbonation and mouthfeel. In all, it seemed quite restrained. Not their best output.

Cask-conditioned at the Savoy, Swindon 29/10/09. Chestnut with a slight, off-white head. As others have said below, an indifferent malty bitter, with some sweetness and not much else.
