Cask @ Sir Walter Scott, JDW. Light brown colour, foamy off-white head. Aroma is malty, fruity, and a bit spicy. Flavour is malty and spicy, later dry biscuit. Slightly dry and bitter finish.

This is a pretty good offering, for a ’global giant’. Although little apparent to the nose, the taste was good, with an overall hint of spice that made for a decent winter warmer pint in front of a real fire.

Cask handpull at Crosse Keys, JDW, London. Deep chestnut colour, suspicious grey white head. Fruity bizarre beer. Bit of green apple flavour. It’s bizarre. I like it and I don’t. Not a great aorma, green apple in mouth, slight hop, but I do like the swallow.

Cask, handpump at The Figure of Eight, JDW, Birmingham 13-12-09 Pours conker brown with a thin white rim of bubbles. Christmassy type name and christmassy type taste. The aroma is of icing sugar and marzipan, in fact there is a definate nod to Christmas cake throughout this beer, little bit weak tasting, some spice. A6 A4 F7 P4 Ov13 3.2
