Cask, half-pint at Pommelers Rest (JDW). Good looking with a resting beige head over a clear copper coloured body, upper part lacing. Moderate malt-fruity nose, mid-sweet. Fine blended taste of leafy hops and caramel malts followed by a bittersweet finish. Like it. (Tower Bridge, London 10.02.2023).

Cask at Moon under Water, Wolverhampton. Pours a dark chestnus with a small off-white head. A slight maltiness in the aroma, but not much. In the mouth it starts off sweet and malty with toffee and some caramel. Later on some hops begin to show, along with autumn fruits. Finish is slightly dry and swwt. Reasonable.
