Handpull cask at the White Horse, Milton. Dark brown with only a hint of ruby, only slightly translucent. Loose tan head on top. Malty aroma with strong overtones of coffee and orange peel. The taste is lovely: sweet with a sharp hop bitterness on the back of the tongue. Not quite as balanced as I’d like - and the bitterness turns slightly acrid on the finish - but that’s splitting hairs. All in all it’s a smashing drink.

Cask at Crosse Keys, JDW, London. Decent stuff. Toasty malts, dry leaves, toasty bread. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Moderately drying on the finish with light sweetness, toasted leaves. Not bad.

Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms, Bristol, November 2012. Reddish amber with a decent, off-white head. Caramel, a touch of orange marmalade, solid malts, a hint of roast and a gently bitter finish. Good.

Wetherspoons Victoria 2 Nov 12. JDW festivaløl. Mørk amber. Lavt skum med litt farge. Skummet fester seg til glasset i nivåer. Svak maltaroma. Smaken er papp. Lite annet. Tørr avslutning.

Cask. Lightly hazy nutty brown with a creamy beige head leaving laces. Rather rustic aroma, overripe fruit, caramel and wood. Medium-bodied, low carbonation, nutty accents, lightly oxidized, lightly tart and plenty of overripe fruit. Some hops appearing late. Interesting and very rustic - Old Ale I’d say. 211112
