Cask@Crosse Keys JDW, London - Dark Amber with beige head. Sweet and toasted malty with some notes of caramel, treacle, some berry fruit, medium body, hoppy malty finish.

Cask at The George. It pours clear deep red - brown with a small beige head. The aroma is rich, sweet, juicy, tangy red berry, cranberry, glace cherry, caramel, toffee and fruit cake. The taste is dry, bitter, earthy, wood, cherry, cherry blossom, tannin, black tea, fruit cake, chewy malt and twig with a drying finish. Medium body and low carbonation. Good cherry character to it, bit it is very drying after a while. Decent nonetheless.
