Cask at the standing order. Pours clear gold with a thick white head. Aromas of caramel. Taste is boring brown beer, more caramel, twiggy. Sweet finish. No flaws, just dull.

A faint fruit aroma and a weak fruit flavour with a slight citrus-y edge. Nothing much going for it by way of backtaste and it does little for the palate, and seems rather "thin" for want of a better word. Distinctly average.

Cask @ JDW Elgin [120313]
Aroma of soft light fruity malt
Taste of light caramel malt, touch earthy, cereal malts, light hay, hint of honey
Palate - Medium body, quite oily, smooth. Finish as main flavour, rather oily residue that i’m not keen on
Overall - Far better than last time, but it’s still not great - below average beer
Cask @ JDW Elgin [030213]
Amber, clear, dense white head. Aroma of earthy malts, farmyard, wet hay. Taste of earthy malts, farmyard damp hay, dab of manure, touch of smoke, wet floorcloth, very poor flavour. Palate - thinnish body, bit oily, well the main flavour wrecks the finish.
Overall - Didn’t finish the half. Very poor tasting beer - hopefully it’s just an off batch
