Honkingly good ale! A delightfully full flavoured beer, rich to the palate and displaying a rounded fruity aroma with hints of dark fruit, punching above its weight, this is a great beer for both the goose and the gander.

Cask at Briar Rose, Birmingham. Clear amber, good tight creamy off white head. Little aroma, some caramel malts. Taste is quite bready and biscuity with a pear and raisin fruitiness. Nice smoothness. It's ok, a bit basic flavour wise.

Half-pint, cask ale after breakfast at Coronet (JDW). Creamy, pearl white head remaining over a clear copper coloured body, upper part lacing on the glass. Moderate caramel aromas with a biscuit vibe. Subdued taste of caramel and a backing note of dark fruits. Bittersweet tail. Just okay. (London, 08.12.2023).

Cask at The Gordon Highlander, Inverurie. It pours clear chestnut brown with a decent yellowy beige head. The aroma is bitter - sweet, rather fruity, red berry and dried fruits, fig, sultana, raisin, nuttiness, toffee and brown bread. The taste is dry, toothy, bitter - sweet, fruit & nut, brown bread, touch of toffee, dried fruits, raisin, sultana, fruit cake, touch of spice and toasty grain with a drying, woody finish. Average body and fine, fluffy carbonation. A really well out together bitter. Nice depth and satisfying flavour. Surprised me.

Cask @ JDW Montgomery's Tower. Pours a generally clear deep amber, off-white head. Good caramel nose. Taste presents caramelised malt with nutty suggestions, fairly light body. Decent.

Cask at Moon Under Water, Wolverhampton. Pours a reddish brown with a small off-white head. The aroma has autumn fruits and malts. In the mouth it has a creamy texture with a sweetness overlying a bitter base. Malts, biscuits and caramel in the flavour, with some fruitiness coming through later. Quite nice.
