Cask handpump at the moon under water jdw Watford. Dark mahogany brown coloured pour with a lasting creamy mid tan head. Aroma is low milk choc, berry fruit. Some light toast on the nose as well. Flavour is light woody twig with tart berry, and a little bit of citrus pith. Palate is light, some sweet malts and green apple tart. Tart finish. OK.

Cask at the Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell. Deep cherry red, almost black, in colour with a ringe of beige head; drinking chocolate aroma; grainy body with a complex taste: - smooth chocoalte and coffee, but also blackcurrant and cherry; and a dry, satisfying finish with lingering fruit. An excellent mild.

Cask @ Mason’s Arms, Todmorden. Very dark with an off-white creamy head. Has less aroma than its limited edition stronger version but a more milky smooth palatable texture. Includes light roasted malts.
