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.

Dark brown with creamy head. Aroma and flavour are typically malty and have English hop dryness. A great session bitter.

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.
