Cask pint in The Shrewsbury Hotel, a Wetherspoons, on 26th Jan 2015. Dark body, deep ruby hue to the almost black brew, on top a tanned crown. Malty and sweet from the start, dark berries in the taste along with molasses. Decent.

On cask at the Standing Order. Appearance - close to opaque black but with some red chinks. Nice head. Nose - dry malt and just a hint of burnt raisins. Taste - the raisins are more forward. Bready backbone. Palate - medium bodied with a dry yet creamy texture and a fairly good finish. Overall - decent beer if slightly gnarly.

[Cask at the Nag’s Head, Reading] Deep ruby-black, small tan head. Autumn fruits and caramel in there, but flavours are a bit muted. Gets very sweet by the end. Very smooth and oily to the point of cloyingness, yet somehow overall feel was of a rather watery weak beer. OK.
