Cask handpull at Crosse Keys, JDW, London. Deep copper colour, thin bubbly beige head. Good fruity malt aroma. Red fruit and toffee in mouth, earthy hop finish with residual juicy fruit sweetness. Hops on nose and finish. Impressed with this, I like the sweet malt and slightly peppery hop finish

Cask at Bishop’s Arms, Malmö
Amber color; frothy head. Minty aroma, light mustard; very original. Soft mouthfeel, some malt, a bit herbal, medium caramel; good bitterness, with a lot of caramel as well in the end (quite drier mouthfeel than the Rustland Beast). Good Winter Warmer.

[Cask at Volunteers Arms at GBBF 2004] A brown beer with no head. The aroma is sweet with notes of caramel, while the flavor is sweet with notes of roasted malt and diacethyl.
