Cask at a plastic pub, in Tewkesbury. Red amber colour with thin tan head that dissipates quickly. Smooth fruity, and malty aroma and taste.

Amber, earthy and caramel, deep fruits and sticky things as well. Maybe a bit too much alcohol.

A tasty old ale with a welcome caramel finish. Aroma of toffee, oak and fruit. Autumnal. Malty and full-bodied, you feel the added strength after a couple of these.

Cask at the White Horse, Oxford on 24th April 2013. Crystal clear copper with thin off-white laceless ring. Sweet malt aromas. Sweet in mouth - fruittella, childrenโs confectionery. Aftertaste much along the same lines with strawberry notes. Texture pleasant if one ignores the sugarsweet flavours. Not a favourite.

1/2 pint@Castle Hotel, Manchester. Clear ruby body, with spare creamy head. Hops, with some basement and citrus aroma. Smooth and full bodied, with a well-balanced taste, hint of orange and unripe plum. Thanks for buying this one, Rune!
