[Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading.] A copper coloured pour with a tight cream coloured head; rye bread aroma; tart berry fruit taste with a rye bread body; and a smooth satisfying dry finish with a little spice. A nice winter ale.

Cask at Moon Under Water, Wolverhampton. Pours the classic bitter brown with a small off-white head and good lacing. Autumn fruits and nuts come through in the aroma. Much more malty however in the mouth, along with caramel and some treacle. Gets more fruity after a while. Reasonable.
