Half pint, cask ale at Beehive (JDW). Naked at the top, dotted spots on the glass, clear copper coloured body. Aroma of bread and wort. Caramel flavour notes, together with bread and distant hops. Slightly bittersweet to the ending. So and son. (London Gatwick 09.01.2019).

On cask at the Caley Picture House. Appearance - golden amber with a nicely proportioned head. Nose - orange and barley. Taste - more orange barley water. Dry biscuit and orange lozenge on the finish. Palate - close to medium bodied with a middle section that is a bit challenging and the finish is fairly similar in that respect. Overall - a beer where you get more out of it if you persevere. Good.

Cask-conditioned at the Cornubia, Bristol 4/8/2012. Copper coloured with a decent, off-white head. Sweet, caramel and berry fruit aroma with a sightly tart edge. Flavour was also sweet and bready, with a moderately bitter finish. Ok.

Cask at the John Logie Baird (JDW), Hastings. Dark amber with a ring of white head; malty aroma; caramel malt flavour with some sour fruit; and a biscuity finish. Nothing special about this.
