Cask at the Golden Lion, Newmarket. Dark brown with hints of ruby. Translucent. A nice big beige head. Sweet and slightly smoky aroma. Not much there but what there is smells lovely. Sugary taste with a tannic note in the finish. The aftertaste has more of a bitter tinge. Surprisingly watery mouthfeel. Not one of Woodforde’s better recipes.

Looks like coca cola with a fine big tan head. Ok lacing. Bready, toffee and mild fruity aroma. Ok body and a decent soft-ish carbonation for a beer like this. Mellow sweetness and a moderate bitterness. Toffee, bready and some chocolate in the flavour. Nice ale.

Cask at The Ale House, Colchester. Poured a clear dark brown with a red hue and a frothy white, long-lasting head. The aroma is weak roasted malt. The flavour is medium to weak bitter with a thin watery weak liqourice hop bitter palate. Light bodied with flat carbonation. It’s a little weak all round to be honest. Needs more defining attributes.

Keighley Beer Festival. Very dark with a small head and as the programme notes suggested it does have a plummy sweetness and a dry bitterness.
