Cask at The Liberty Bounds (Spoons), Tower Hill, London. An amber/brown coloured pour with a medium off white head on top. Fruity, malty, caramel aroma and taste. Pretty bland as expected from this brewery.

Cask at The Market Porter. Dark amber-brown colour, small steady beige head and lace. Raisiny, caramel aroma. Light-bodied to medium-bodied. Caramel, raisins in the flavour. Nicely sippable real ale.

Cask @ Manchester & County, Manchester. Deep amber with a head. It’s not quite as rich as the blurb suggests, but light and palatable.

Bottle from the brewer’s own stand at Waddesdon Christmas Market. Amber-brown with a negligible beige head and a light fizz. Chocolate, treacle, earth, dead leaves and a mild spiciness. It’s nothing special but compared to Vale’s normal low standards it’s not too bad I guess.

Bottle at ChrisO Snow Tasting. It pours deep red-brown with a small off-white head. The nose is caramel, dark fruit, wood, leather and light smoke. The taste is caramel, wood, earth, leather, quite dry and faint astringency with a dry, slight sweet finish. Decent balance and fairly easy drinking, but there just isn’t much too it.

Bottle at Chriso Snow Tasting, thanks to Chris I think, 20/01/13. Lightly hazed chestnut brown with a thin off white head that clears to the edge. Nose is dark malt, bread, yeast, light fruit. Taste follows, rather bland, light sugars, malty, dark fruit. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, dry finish. Sub average.

Cask handpul at County Hotel JDW Ashford. Clear deepish brown lasting beige head. Its malty and an ok strongish bitter. Some hops on finish but this is all about the rich earthy dry malts. ok condition and tasty rnough. Fine. Happy to have the other half of this.

Cask at the London & County (JDW), Eastbourne. Chestnut with a loose off-white head; caramel aroma with a hint of spice; rich caramel malt flavour; the finish is dry and biscuity with a touch of spice, leaving a malty aftertaste.
