Cask at The Flying Horse (Wetherspoon), Gatwick Airport 03/12/2024 Toasted and sweet malty with notes of dark fruit cake, some caramel, twiggy hoppy undercurrent, soft cask mouthfeel with a medium body, lightly spiced into the sweet malty finish. Pretty good seasonal ale.

Cask at the Gordon Highlander. It pours clear mahogany brown with a sturdy khaki head. The aroma is nutty, woody, sappy, eggy aspect, egg sandwich, bitter - sweet, toasted spice, brown bread and toffee. The taste is dry and nutty upfront, sappy wood, toasty brown bread, bitter - sweet character, chewy, toothy, warming spice and a touch of alcohol in the mix. Finish is dry and toasted nuts. Medium body and fine, velvety carbonation. A decent enough robust festiva ale. The eggy character detracts a touch, but isn't overwhelming. Ok.

Half-pint, cask after breakfast at Hope Tap (JDW). Good looking. A stable, patchy, off-white head to a bright copper body, clingy lacing. Inviting aromas of mid-sweet earthy malts and ripe fruits. Well blended taste of caramel, bread, and a biscuit twist. Balanced bittersweet end. A well kept, nice English bitter version. (Reading 19.11.2021).

Mørk amber. Klar. Lavt skum med litt farge. Aroma av røde plommer & kjeks. Smaken fiken & tørket frukt. Søtlig tørr fruktig bitter avslutning.

On cask at the Standing Order. Appearance - deep amber. Proportionate head. Nose - caramel and brown bread. Taste - caramel biscuit. Just an edge of chocolate. Palate - creamy and sweet initially. Medium bodied. Decent finish. Overall - a solid citizen.
