Brewed using hard water drawn from the original well sunk in stone Yorkshire squares to create a full-bodied malty, toffee-ish tasting, creamy beer of unique character.

Cask @ Chandos near Trafalgar Square, medium sample, served in a 1/2 pint (oh you girl!). Almost clear copper color, short frothy head. Aroma of toast, toffee, caramel, biscuit. Slight bitter taste, slight sweet. Typical.

Cask. Looks copper, with a one finger white head. It took a long time to settle. Aromas of bitter hops, toffee and caramel. Taste- quite thin-bodied, lots of bitterness, a fair amount of caramel going on.Solid bitter.

Cask at the Windsor Castle, Wesminster, 31/10/13. Clear copper golden with a moderate light beige covering, good lacing ensues. Nose is thin - light fruit notes, hint of toffee, grain. Taste comprises toffee, light malt bill, touch of darker fruit, bread dough. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, light bitter notes in the finish. So so bitter, not unpleasant, just lacks any depth - done on the cheap which is probably why it is relatively speaking!

Keg @ The Doo’cott, Edinburgh [290713]
Orange amber, clear, dense white thin head
Aroma of soft caramel, touch of honey, soft cereal
Taste as aroma, light toffee, soft cereal, rather dull, keg cersion poorer than cask
Palate - Soft carb, medium body. Finish as main flavour, soft fairly sweet malts, some soft cereal biscuit, slightly metallic
Overall - Nowhere near as good as cask, dull keg beer but still better than the macro bitter creamflow stuff
