Guest cask at the Wenlock Arms, London on 28th June 2009. Reddish black with a lasting white head. Slight yeastiness of aroma, soon malty with roastiness on a saline mouthfeel with a slight hint of salt and smoke. The slight saltiness is desirable and compels the drinker to ask for more. Very satisfying drink.

Cask-conditioned at the Lord Moon of the Mall (JDW), London 09/06/09. "Smoky Vanilla" sums this one up perfectly. Deep amber with a slight, off-white head. Sweetish malts, some spicy hops and a touch of roasty bitterness in the finish. Ok.

Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading. Amber with a thin white head; woody, herbal aroma; smooth texture with sweet vanilla flavours over a clean fresh bitterness, and a disappointingly short finish. Interesting.

Cask, Rockliffe Arms, Whitley Bay. Bronze colour with a thin head, medium lace. Caramel malt/toffee aroma with some decent fruit and hop in there too. Gently bitter. Reasonably balanced and quite drinkable.

Cask handpull at The Hope Tap, JDW, Reading. Gold, lasting thick off white head. Looking forward to this as I like Roosters. Fragrant spice runs through it, doesn’t dominate but definite presence. Subtle perfumed spice on aroma, bit of caramel in flavour. Finish is pretty muted. Not very hoppy.

Cask, half pint served at the very right drinking temperature at The Wheatsheaf Bar in Stoke. Well kept beer with a delicious aroma of floral hops. Mild spiced taste with a discreet touch of soft grapefruits. Short bitter endnotes. Rather thin on the swallow. Golden-amber body with no head. Great aroma, but weaker in flavour (JDWs Real Ale Festival, 02.05.2009).

Cask at W’Spoons Northwood Hills. Golden beer with a slight head. Fresh, fruity, citrus. Hops were not overpowering. Overall not bad for a festival beer at Spoons one of the better offerings.
