Looks good this one. Nice clear nutty color and fine thick tan head. Not that inviting aroma. Butter and yeast. Medium light body and å soft carbonstion level. Oily texture. Tad sweet and a mild bitterness. Fruity, yeast and toffee flavor. Not able to end this one. Quite horrible.

Cask at Prince Arthur, Fleet. Vague biscuity malty aroma. Light chestnut. Thin off-white head. Light bitter, with increasing fruity/berry sweetness. Light-medium bodied. Soft. Abrupt finish. Enjoyable sweet bitter. Had to settle for this as the other beers I chose were all off (typical Spoons) but certainly much more pleasant than my first beer.

Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol 29/10/2014. Reddish brown in colour with a slight, off-white head. A touch of spicy rye malts, caramel and some leafy hops, before a moderately bitter finish. Fine.
