Bottle at Bishopโs Arms, Malmรถ, Gustav Adolf Torg
Beautiful color, dark amber with red reflex, but small head. Mild aroma of roasted malt, light feet. Lean mouthfeel, roasted malt flavor, too dry and too ashy for me. Correct bitterness. Disturbing character of burnt malts in the end.
As said, too ashy.

Appearance is amber, with a one finger light foamy head. A nice raisin, fruitcake, nutty aroma. Taste- lots of malt and raisin, caramel hints, some hop bitterness. Pretty good.

Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol, October 2013. Sweet, malty beer with a touch of hop before a decent, bitter finish. Fine.

(Bottle) Darkish amber colour with frothy, beige head, leaving traces of lacing. Malty, fruity nose with notes of dried apricots, orange peel, dried fruit, honey and toasty, biscuity malt. Malty, slightly toasty taste with dried apricots, brown sugar, dark bread, orange peel and a certain citric bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with balanced sweetness. Well balanced and tasty. Quite enjoyable.

Bottle: Poured a clear brown color ale with a rather large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma consists of light dry biscuit malt with some light bitter notes. Taste is dominated by dry biscuit malt with light roasted malt notes with some light dry bitter hops notes also noticeable. Body is about average with good carbonation. Enjoyable but a little bit too much toasted malt notes for my taste.

Gravity cask at the Wandsworth Common Halloween Beer Festival - Le Gothique, London. Pours clear amber with a big, frothy white head. The nose has grainy bread, dried berries and nuts. Light to medium sweet flavor with light doughy and dry bread, dry toffee, further berry character. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Good condition. Further dry and toasty brown bread in the finish, dried berries, light leafy bitterness. Not too shabby at all. Good effort, Sheppy!

The Hain Line, St Ives. Cask. Pretty much a clear deep amber beer. Small pale cream coloured head. Palate is smooth and semi dry. Smooth malt with a little dry cream. Nice nutty tone. Whisper of dried fruits and mellow peel hops. Finishes semi dry. Tasty enough!

Cask at Tanners Hall JDW Darlington. Brown amber colour, off-white foam head and aroma of malt, hint of citrus hop. Taste is roast malt, coffee, and some citrusy hop bitterness. Smooth mouthfeel, medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry roast bitter finish. Quite OK.
