Dark mahogany with no head, this beer was poured very poorly by a young slip of a lass in a pub in Hammersmith, London on Boxing day evening 2006. Christmas cake/pudding spices attacked my nose, along with sweet malts, very interesting. The aroma carried on into the taste, a thicker mouthfeel than I was expecting from a mild, almost rich. A very nice mild, one I will have again if our paths cross.

Mild bitterness, good fruits, full of taste and almost a full bodied real ale.

[Cask at the Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell.] Tawny brown with a ruby tint and a dense cream head; caramel and treacle aroma; smooth caramel body, rather dry to start, then some roast hazelnuts come through before a warming sweet tracel finish. A very pleasing winter ale.

Cask handpump at Thomas Ingoldsby, JDW, Canterbury. Very deep ruby with thin tan head. Soft and choccy beer. Goodish choccy malts, some dark fruits. Bit of sour yeast on aroma. Not much evidence of hop. Much the same flavours on a very short finish.
