Cask at the Bankers Draft, Eltham. Copper coloured pour with a white head. Aromas of sweet malt, raisin, vanilla, spice. Similar action in the flavour. Not too bad.

[Cask at The Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell.) An amber pour with a tight cream head; fruity biscuity aroma; earthy malt taste with some caramel and a leafy bitterness and some treacle to finish. Lacking warmth and depth of taste.
