Cask at the Crosse Keys, JDW. Pours ruby-brown with a filmy head. Dark malts on the nose, faint cocoa, very little roast. Sweet flavor, more dark malts, bit of sugar, light bitterness. Light to medium in body with fine carbonation. Sweet, sugary dark malt finish, slightly chalky, no real smoke, bit of faint mocha. Kind of seems like this beer misplaced his cajones somewhere, but it still is alright.

Cask handpull at JDW Willow Walk Victoria. pale ruby with lasting thick beige head. Not very smoky. Touchof smoke on finish. Good condition in mouth. Aroma of an ESB. In fact its pretty much an ESB with a touch of smoke peppery hop on finish and rich fruity malt in the mouth. Women!!!! Cant live with them, pass the beer nuts. Damn and I was having such a good afternoon too. Why do they have to ruin everything.
