Cask @ Barum Top Inn, Halifax. Dark amber with a glow and a creamy-smooth head. Malt aroma but a little more interesting in taste with some smoother tasting mildly herbal and darker malt tastes, albeit very very light.

Cask at JDW Wibbas Down Inn, Wimbledon (27/03/2023) - JDW Spring Fest 2023 - toasted malty with notes of sweet biscuit malts, touch of caramel, cereal, light nutty accents, medium body and soft cask carbonation with a smooth mouthfeel, bitter hoppy and lingering malty close. Ok.

Cask-conditioned, on gravity, at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol March 2023. Deep and ruddy brown in colour with a slight, off-white, head. A malty bitter, with fruity sweetness, ripe malts and a moderately bitter finish. Not much of a winter warmer due to the ABV, but drinkable.

[Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading.] An amber pour with a cream coloured head; hedgerow aroma; berry taste; and a dry floral finish. Nothing at all like the Wetherspoon’s description, but very drinkable.

Cask at Moon Under Water, Wolverhampton. Pours a bright ruby with a small off-white head and good lacing. There malts and spices in the aroma plus hints of marmalade. In the mouth it is slightly sweet with malts, ginger and traces of lemon and spice. Later on there is some treacle too. Spices again in the finish. This is quite reasonable,
