Cask at the Falcon, HW, 30/03/17. Amber to copper with a decent beige covering. Nose is brown bread, toffee, biscuit, light fruit esters, a touch thin. Taste comprises biscuit, bread, toffee, straw, brown sugar, a trace of diacetyl me thinks. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, drying close with a light chemical rinse and bittering effect. Not great.

Clear amber colour, medium sized slightly beige-ish creamy off-white head; aroma of some bread, caramel and minimal floral notes; taste of malty sweetness and toasted bitterness with a quite strange, but still good dried cherry-dark chocolate combo; if it was not that watery as it is, it could be a really good ale

Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading. Amber with a negligible off-white head. Diacetyl and dust overlay too-sweet toffee malt. A dirty, dirty beer.

On cask @ the Booking Office. Appearance - golden with a nice fluffy head. Nose - interesting bitter cherry stone note. Toffee too. It culminates in a marzipan note. Taste - loads of the dried red fruit, marzipan again. Light toffee at the back. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy texture. The finish is dry and crunchy. Overall - this is great. It’s a bit challenging but the effort gives a generous reward.
