Cask special for the JDW Spring festival 2010.

Hops: Challenger and First Gold.

This beer is usually available in bottled form only, but has been brewed in cask form, for the first time, exclusively for the Wetherspoon real ale festival. It is dark in colour with a rich, inviting aroma and a complex flavour, with hints of fruit cake and caramel emerging before the sweet pleasing finish.

Cask at the Standing Order (JDW), Stevenage. Reddish copper in colour with a thin cream head; aroma of blackberries and autumn fruit; similar fruit flavours with some caramel malts to finish. Not bad for GK.

Cask handpump at The Penny Black, Bicester, JDW 10-04-10 with Craig & family Pours mid/dark brown in fact its chestnut in colour & there is good clarity with a small white bubbly head. Toffee & caramel coming off of what is sticky sweet, malty nose. The first beer that I had here at JDW’s that actually had a lot of taste, ok so it’s full of sweet malty flavour’s, with plenty of toffee, but there is dark alcohol soaked fruits there, its chewy and tasty, easily the best beer at JDW’s today.
