Cask @ White Hart, Todmorden. Clear golden with a creamy head. Has a grittier tasting tropical fruitiness with a strength to it that leads to caramels evident in both its aroma and aftertaste.

Cask at the Last Post, Southend-on-Sea, on 20th December 2017. Copper with shallow greyish foam an scant lacing. A distinctly sweet caramel malt aroma. Malty in-mouth with toffee and berry fruits. A lactic transient at the end of the liquid drain, followed by a sweet finish with just a hint of citrus. Light body and mouthfeel.

Cask at the Playhouse, Colchester. Pours amber brown with a small creamy off-white head. Aroma of malt, fruit, hop, caramel, plastic and a very light spice edge. Medium sweetness, moderate bitterness. Medium body, slight oily and creamy texture, soft to fine carbonation. Drinkable but not great.

Cask at the Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell. A dark amber pour with a loose white head; earthy caramel aroma; sweet malty caramel taste with a light spicy bitterness; but a rather thin finish.

Amber and dark with a foamy beige head. Malty and slightly chocolatey. Lots of caramel malty sweetness. Quite good.

Cask. Reddish amber colour, small beige head. Aroma is caramel, some wood, resin, mild floral and nutty notes. Flavour is very similar, but also has a nice bitterness to it as well as some fruits and mild sappy notes. Not all too "Wintery" as such...

On cask at the Standing Order. Appearance - cloudy amber with a decent head. Nose - fruit cake, in particular a plum note. Taste - more of the same, light biscuit finish. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - best Caledonian beer I’ve had in a long time.
