Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading. Deep amber-red with a moderate cream head and a light fizz. Earthy, fruity with a little diacetyl , a smooth mouthfeel and a moderate bitterness. Decent enough.

Cask (backlog). Rubyish amber colour with a mediumsized white creamy head. Aroma is sweet malts along iwth some mild herbal and floral notes to it. Flavour is sweet malts, mild crisp bready notes, some nutty notes as well as some slight wooden and floral bitterness in the finish. OK, but nothing that special.

Dec 2011, the cask version I had last week was bloody awful, bland, weak and boring. Dry and fairly bitter taste, with the burnt flavour of the malts taking over from the toffee in the aroma.
