Cask at the wagon and horses. Black country bus beer bash. Chestnut brown with a thin white head. Nutty twiggs aroma. Thinish watery palate. Not much going o, but pleasant enough.

Hand-pulled half-pint on 6 Jun 2013 in the excellent ’Crown Inn’ Oakengates. Good looking beer: mahogany body, almost bright, on top a full, smooth off-white foam for a head. Malty nose and taste: weak body depth, but it is a 3.4% Mild after all. Those aforementioned malts were roasted/toasted and semi-sweet, a hoppy dryness underpins the whole brew and ensure this isn’t just a malty mess. Overall fine: ideal for a quick lunchtime half if driving (which is why I only had a half).

Cask at the Claude du Vall (JDW), Camberley. An attractive reddish tawny colour with a dense tan head; aroma of mollasses and nutty roasted malts; rather thin in the mouth, with some weak red fruit, and a dry smoky, woody, body; leading to some coffee grounds and a dry tingly bitter finish. Unusual and surprisingly good.

Cask-conditioned at the Bag ONails, Bristol 22/04/09. Reddish-amber with a slight, off-white head. Light aroma of red fruit with a touch of caramel. Flavour had some sweetness, before a touch of cherry and a slight bitter finish. An ok mild.
