Pint from Wetherspoons, Eastbourne. Pours a hazy amber colour with a one finger off white head. Aromas of dark fruits, caramel and bread. Taste is bready with more fruity notes, toffee, caramel and biscuits. Nice lasting earthy hop bitterness on the finish. Nice lacing all the way down the glass. Very nice and well conditioned.

Cask at Moon under Water, Wolverhampton. This may well be the beer I’ve been drinking longer than any other, as I definitely remember drinking it when I lived in Oxford in the lates 1970s, and the other local breweries (Morland, Morells) are no longer with us. Anyway, pours a rich chestnut with a small white head and good lacing. Malt and nuts in the nose. In the mouth the texture is a bit watery with low carbonation. Taste reminds me mostly of red wine gums, but to expand, I would add malts, corn and oranges. A fairly sweet finish to round things off. Excellence personified.
