Cask at the Cornfield Garage (JDW), Eastbourne. Deep tawny brown with a loose beige head; straightforward malty aroma; smooth with a malty flavour but lighter than the traditional "heavy"; the finish is dry with toasty malts. A satisfying malty pint.

Cask at the George, Croydon. It pours very dark brown, with a decent beige head. The nose is chocolate, caramel, treacle and smoke. The taste is chocolate, caramel, wood, leather, dark dried fruit, blueberry, warming spice and coffee, with a dry finish. Medium body, soft carbonation and decent balance. Smooth and easy drinking.

Cask @ Crystal Palace, JDW. Spoons Real Ale Festival autumn 2011. Deep bordeaux red colour, beige head. Nose is light roasted malts, coffee and dark fruits. Flavour of roasted malts, light coffee, fruits. Thin bodied. Shame, lots of potential here.

Cask at The Crosse Keys, JDW, London. Pours red-brown with a creamy, beige head. Light roast aroma with hints of wood. Sweet flavor, mild roasted malts, subtle milk chocolate, some fine bread. Medium bodied with light carbonation. Mild roasty finish, lightly toasted sugar, faint leafy bitterness, a bit of bread. Very easy-drinking beer.
