JDW Fest. Slightly hazy pale gold beer, residual white head. Light palate. Light carbonation. Nice fresh hop - again just a light prescence. Mild citrus. Semi dry finish. Refreshing tasty beer, could session this.

Cask handpull at Flower Pot Maidstone. Very dark brown near black beer with lasting beige head. In good condition. Quite a hoppy aroma. Some dark malts and dark juicy fruits in mouth. Almost more of a black American pale ale than a stout. On the whole I am not a fan of stouts and not hugely fond of hoppy stouts. Decent though

Cask, gravity at Banbury Beer Festival 05.05.11 I was also directed to this beer by Glen and I have to say it was an excellent suggestion. Pours clear mid brown good clarity. Very rich in the mouth, big sweet malty body, good hoppy profile, don’t get the citrus so much and I am interested in what the hop(s) are. Tasty stuff and tasting stronger than it is, like this a lot. A7 A4 T8 P4 Ov15 3.8

On gravity at the Portcullis, Clifton, Bristol 29/04/2011. Slightly hazy brown in colour with a slight, white head. Apricot and peach fruit aroma with a yeasty edge. Grainy malt flavours, with plenty more fruit and yeast leading to a dryish finish. Good.

Bottle. Sweet chocolate malt and herbal hops aroma. Dark chestnut color with nice head - a beautiful pint. Lightly sweet toffee malt and moderately bitter herbal hops flavor. Decent body. A hoppy porter - nice.

Cask at the Crosse Keys, JDW. Light, clear yellow pour with a wimpy head. Great aroma, hay, mild cracker, lemon zest. Flavor is modestly sweet, lightly fruity, hints of elderflower and spices, lightly bitter with hay. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Good balance to finish, zesty citrus, floral hops and some straw malts. Nice stuff.

Cask at the Crosse Keys, JDW. Clear, vibrant gold with a moderate, white head. Lovely nose, rife with citra hops, lemon, hay and crackery malts. Flavor follows perfectly, light to medium sweet, sun-kissed malts, lemon, hay, grass bitterness. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Crisp, refreshing finish, slightly sticky, plenty of citrusy hops and just the right amound of malty sweetness. Great beer.
