Cask at Batemans Visitor Center and Pub, Wainfleet, Lincs. Pours dark amber with a small off-white head. Aroma of malt, hop, light chocolate, biscuit and fruit. Medium sweetness, moderate bitterness. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. A solid and enjoyable mid-strength bitter though possibly not what it once was, recall having it before and enjoying it more.

500ml bottle from Ken Warne grocery store, Darlington. Coppery amber colour, tan foam head and aroma of malt, toffee, caramel. Taste is roasty malt, doughy bready, some caramel, fruity and grassy earthy hop bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry tangy malty bitter finish. Quite drinkable.

*Old rating from 2011. Nice toasted beer with hints of malts and caramel. Nuts. Nice and easy to drink. Full and rich with a nice Ale characteristic. Great and round.

Cask at the Bankers Draft (JDW), Bedford. Copper colour with a light drizzle of off-whitish head. The carbonation is strong with this one. Floral and toffee aroma, mild but pleasant enough. Sweet malty taste with a hit of caramel, but there’s some artificial-tasting astringency at the end of the sip. Toffee apple in the aftertaste. Nice full palate for a beer of this strength. Ok.
