Cask at the Central Bar, JDW. Pours a clear, rich copper-gold with a creamy, off-white head. Bready malts in the nose with some hard caramel. Fairly sweet, very doughy flavor. Some lightly tart citric bitterness. Light to medium in body with average, smooth carbonation. Mediocre finish, some messy malts, light bread and faintly astringent hops. Um, it’s ok. Pretty basic.

Cask conditioned at J.D. Wetherspoon - Penderel’s Oak, London
Amber color; thin creamy head. Simple aroma. Some caramel flavor, correct body, residual sweetness, but very easy indeed.

[Cask at the Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell.] Copper coloured with a thin cream head; sweet fruit aroma; fruity flavour with lots of sourish plums and chewy caramel malts; dry, biscuity, finish. Very pleasant.

Cask-conditioned at the Portcullis, Bristol 11/12/08. Deep amber in colour with next to no head. Fruity malt aroma with a hint of chocolate. Flavour was sweetish, with plenty of biscuit malt, some red fruit and a short, dry finish. Good.
