Half at Bulls Head, Birmingham. Pours an amber with small consistent beige head. Taste is malty, raisin, a bit dishwater. Good bitterness but that's about it. Very mediocre.

Cask at Butlers Bell, Stafford (at 4.2%). Pours golden amber with a small scummy off-white head and good lacing. Hops are the mainstay of the aroma, giving both fruity tones and bitterness. In the mouth it starts off with malts, traditional hops and dried fruit. After a while it becomes quite bitter with this lasting into the slightly dry finish. Overall this is a reasonable bitter – but somewhat boring.

På GBBF Winter 2020 i Birmingham. Spandert av BeerViking. Mørk gylden. Lett fruktaroma. Smaken tørket frukt. Litt sherrypreg. Tørr avslutning.

Cask ale, 4.2 % abv. half-pint at Postal Order (JDW). A clear amber-ruby body, ring to the rim of the surface, spotty lacing. Moderate aroma of biscuit. Mixed taste of caramel malts and marmalade. Mid-dry ending, more sweet than bitter. Accepted. (Worcester 09.07.2018).

Cask at The Bulls Head, Birmingham. Clear dark amber with a small cream head. Aroma of toffee, malt, fudge, licorice notes, hair spray and caramel. Flavour is above moderate sweet and moderate bitter. Light medium bodied with very soft carbonation.

Gravity cask at the Walsall Camra, beer festival 2015. Poured a crystal clear medium amber with a bubbly white head. The aroma is light hop, light creamy malt. The flavour is moderate bitter with a smooth malt, woody hop bitter palate. Light bodied with soft carbonation. A decent session bitter and a real blast from the past!

Cask at the Market Porter, London
Light amber color. Earthy malt aroma. Mellow malty taste, ordinary bitterness, some aromatic hop but not impressive.

[Cask at Volunteers Arms, GBBF, 2004] A hazy amber beer with no head. The aroma is of diacethyl - as if it hasn’t finished fermenting. The flavor is yesty and like unfermented wort, though with a slight bitter or more dry finish.
