Cask at the Richard I, Greenwich. Reddish brown pour with a beige head. Aromas of toffee apple, sweet malt action, plum jam. Similar malarkey in the flavour. Not bad at all.

Cask, half-pint at Flying Horse (JDW), Gatwick Airport. Deep dark brown body, A beige head blanketing the upper part of the glass. Earth and bread on the nose, hints of dark fruits. Blended taste of biscuits, earth, bread and caramel. Vague bittersweet ending. Smooth on the swallow. Fair enough. (13.02.2019).
