Cask from the brewer’s own stall at the Thame Food Festival. Reddish-amber with a thick off-white head. Treacley bready malt with twigs and leaf mulch and a touch off orange. Too sweet and too twiggy for me, although judging by the number of people buying bottles of it at the festival and the high-ish ratings on this site I may be alone in this opinion.

Cask at the Pilgrims Progress, Bedford. Brown with a strong reddish tint. Big creamy head. Cherrywood and gummy bear aroma. A bit sickly and uninviting. However the taste is much better: the fruity sweetness is counteracted by a dry astringency. Bittersweet, balanced finish. Nutty aftertaste. Pretty good.

Fra cask på Standing Order (JDW), Southampton 23 Jan 14. Mørk kastanjebrun. Lavt litt farget skum som etterlater masse lacing. Svak karamellaroma. Smaken litt tynn. Ubestemmelig - litt nøtteaktig smak.
