Cask at Standing Order, Derby. Pours dark chestnut with a small scummy off-white head and good lacing. The aroma is mainly malts plus some hints of autumn fruits. In the mouth it is sweet and creamy, but also somewhat watery, with malts, traditional hops and pear drops. Some dark fruits come through later. This is reasonable – if somewhat bland.

Cask, hand-pulled pint in my local Wetherspoon's on 22nd Oct 2019. Chestnut/mahogany coloured body, beige foam on top. Hedgerow fruits and maltiness in both the aroma and taste.
