Gravity cask at the Wren's Nest, Newport IOW. Light brown, clear with a bit of off-white head. Toffee, glace cherry on the aroma. Sweet taste, ridiculously sweet. Massive amount of residual sugar in this beer, really spoils it. All in all it isn't bad, but it's too damn sweet (this from a guy who loves sweet beers).

Pours a clear amber colour with a small frothy off white head. A mild caramel malt and light fruity hop aroma. A biscuit malt and caramel taste with some fruity apple flavours and moderate bitterness in a light dry finish.

On cask at Rohan Kanhai, Wetherspoons, Ashington. Appearance - deep amber with a nice fluffy head. Nose - prunes and orange. Cake mixture. Taste - more fruit cake notes. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy texture. Nice elegant finish. Overall - my cask experience seems to have been more positive than most bottle experiences.

Cask at the Swan, Farnborough. 20/07/16. Aroma = zilch. Bright amber, healthy white washing up liquid head. Sweet and sour. Caramel, grapefruit... vinegar. Three of us drinking it, one of us suspects itโs off. Soft palate. OK.

Bottle on holiday in Lyme Regis. Clear amber beer, thin white head. Palate is light and fairly dry. Fine carbonation. Lacto sweet thin malts. Modest dried fruits. Light finish. Quite a creamy sweet caramel bitter.
