[Cask at the Sherlock Holmes, Charing Cross, London, 26/6/10; rating 6/3/7/4/14] Deep amber-red. Good rich malt, toffee & raisin bitter, just the way I like ’em! Surprisingly good for a GK "special". [Re-rate, cask at the Tartar Frigate, Broadstairs, 20/5/11; rating 5/4/4/2/9] (rebranded as London Glory) Amber, moderate off-white head, toffee, mild dusty hop bitterness in finish. Another boring GK identikit beer. Don’t know what I was thinking of with my original rating - I must have been pissed! Rating given is average of the two pints.

Mild caramel aroma, red brown color, clear with frothy head, medium bitter taste, medium body and slightly bitter finish. Nice beer but not the best I have tasted.

Cask at the Nascot Arms, Watford. Reddish copper in colour with a loose cream head; aroma of fresh hops; thin and watery body, caramel sugars dominate the flavour; the finish is dry, woody and bitter.
