(Cask at Gallows Real Ale Festival 2011) The beer poured very dark brown and clear. Head was small and light brown. The first smell to hit my nose was cow house. After that arrived coffee and roastedness. Palate was medium bodied and dry. Flavours were burntness, ash, roastedness and bitterness. Aftertaste was burnt. Way too burnt and quite unpleasant first sniff.

Cask handpull at Society Rooms JDW Maidstone. Clear gold colour with very lasting white head. Its ok. Not sure this is quite right. Conditon is really good. Some fart yeast hop and butter on aroma. Sorry this has cheesy diacetyl on aroma that spoils this pint for me. Just too buttery for other flavours to come through.

Cask at the Crosse Keys, JDW. Pours a mostly clear gold with a slight, white head. Hoppy, straw nose with some toast and caramel. Light sweet flavor with some crackers, flowery bitters and hay. Light bodied with average carbonation. Lasting bitter finish, some orange juice and bready malts, too. Very nice.
