Cask: Special - JDW Autumn 2012 Beer Festival
Dzuljeta Armoniene has travelled to Shepherd Neame Brewery, in Kent, to collaborate in re-creating this beer especially for this Wetherspoon real-ale festival. This red-coloured beer has an aroma which strikes a good balance of caramel, malt and hops, while the flavour is full bodied, with notes of toast, malt and sweetness, balanced by a subtle, low-hop bitterness.
Hops used: Magnum

Cask, gravity dispensed, at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading. Golden amber with a ring of translucent head; caramel aroma; rich, chewy, caramel malt flavour with some cinder toffee bitterness; the finish is dry with a distinct burnt toffee aftertaste. Rather good.

Cask at Archibald Simpson’s. It pours clear red-amber, with medium beige head. The nose is caramel, toast, earth, spice and berry. The taste is caramel, wood, leather, earth, toast, red berry, bitterness and faint fruit tanginess, with a long, dry finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. A pretty solid red ale.

Cask at the Crosse Keys, JDW, London. Pours clear, golden-brown with a fine, white foam head. Toasty bread nose, suggestions of sugary malts. Big bready malt flavor, light to medium sweet, lots of brown bread especially, some toasty sugars. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet finish, more brown bread, some berries, almost no bitterness. It’s a very simple beer, but it’s also fairly tasty. Decent.
