[Cask at the Duck & Pond, Harrow] Pours amber-red with a thick creamy head. Rich fruity aroma (plums) is rather let down by the taste - the orange up front is nice, but then there’s a lot of standard GK toffee malt, with a dusty, suplhurous finsh. On the sweet side. Couldn’t quite understand the high ratings on this one - seemed like juat another boring GK bitter to me?

Half on cask. Perfect temperature. Mahogany red-tinged. Thin foamy head diminishing to nothing. Dark malty aroma combined with fruity notes. Flavour contains dark fruit and dark berries. Bitter sweetness towards the end. Dry finish. Flat and medium mouthfeel (The Harp in Covent Garden 18.09.2006).

Cask at The Harp London WC2 16 Sep 06. Chestnut brown coloured. A small off-white head. Fruity aroma. A caramellish rich flavour. A long bitter aftertaste. Well balanced.

Red amber beer with a creamy off-white head. Aroma of malt and berries. Sweet flavour with lots of berries, but balanced by plenty of hops and a lasting bitterness. Very smooth and rich.

Cask Conditioned
Clean amber to dark-amber color. The aroma is quite simple, but the flavor is really interesting: malty,smoth, some sweetness, some caramel and a really pleasant hop touch. A great pleasure.

Sampled cask conditioned at GBBF.
Amber colour. Rich, fruity and really malty with alingering salty flavour. A hoppy, but still malt dominated ale.
