Cask-conditioned at the WG Grace (JDW), Bristol, February 2014. Medium brown in colour, with a thin, beige head. Brown sugar, slightly toasty malts, some berry fruits and a gentle, slightly hoppy finish. Enjoyable.

Cask at the William Webb Ellis, Twickers, 01/04/14, JDW Spring 2014 Fest Beer #15. Clear chestnut brown with reddish hues topped with a good sized light tan covering that dissipates to edgeing over time. Nose is toffee, roast chestnut, cocoa powder, coffee cupcake icing. Taste comprises biscuit crumble, subtle coffee notes, demerera sugar, lightly burnt toffee crisp bar. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Good depth of flavours and a decent offering for the style.

Cask @ Wetherspoons, Central Milton Keynes. Nice mid to dark brown with a thin bubbly head. Aroma of cooking chocolate and oak: faint but distinctive. It is the taste that makes me fall for this beer: sour at first, fading to bittersweet. Unsweetened chocolate profile throughout. Lingering complex bitter/sour finish. Everything fits together very nicely. A success story of a collab.

Cask, The Penny Black, JDW, Bicester, Oxon, Thursday 3rd April 2014 I found this to be a fairly average heading towards boring brown ale, ok to be fair brown ale is hardly an exciting style but Nogne can make a silk purse out of a pigs ear, however here they succeded in making a pigs ear into erm.... a pigs ear :-( Brown with a off-white head, a little light watery toffee, caramel, no hops, malt driven with light cocoa and even cola touches. Ok. A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov11 3.0

Cask at Wetherspoons, Reading. Chestnut-brown with a moderate off-white head. Roasted malt and chestnuts with a little chocolate. A bit watery. It’s OK but I’d have expected better from Nogne; presumably Batemans have as usual managed to drag this one down a bit.

Cask @ Montgomery’s Tower, Shrewsbury. Some quite dark flavours for a brown ale with a touch of sweet liquorice in the malts along with some sour nutty elements, but didn’t quite hit the right spots for me. Quite disappointing really.

Cask at the Greyhound (JDW), Maidenhead. Chestnut with a loose cream head; rich buttery toffee aroma; chewy malt body with a crisp finish. Very moreish.
