[i] Cask at JDW The Penny Black, Bicester, Oxon 04-11-07 [/i] Dark amber in colour with a thin white head. Sticky toffee in abundance at first and then a lovely rich and warming feel as it slips down sticky fruits also very much in evidence, a really nice beer, cask put on just before we left pub so glad I got to try this. Very enjoyable.

[i] Cask at The Plough, Appleton, Oxon, leg three of the Thames Tipple [/i] Very dark brown colour with some light malts on the nose. Caramel in the mouth and very flavoursome for such a low abv, a well kept beer that was really enjoyable.

Tap at Cheers, Yokohama. Malty aroma, earth tones, some sweetness, some spice. Clear amber color with a mid sized, thick head. Smooth, full body. Flavor of english malt, toasted, caramel, I swear a little bit of apple. The finish has a little noticeable alcohol. Easy to drink.

Copper-amber brown color, small white head. Caramelly and skunky hoppy nose. Toffeish, nutty hoppy, slightly skunky and hoppy. Hints of metal. Decent English pasteurised bitter which is only 3,6 %. Similar to some Shepherd Neame’s products.

[i] Bottle from Oxford Tesco 01-11-07 [/i] Some citrus and honey on the nose also barley sugar, poured gold with white head. Tasted fine if a bit plain but a reasonable balance of honey sweetness and bitterness carried it through.

[i]Cask/Gravity at The Swan Beer Festival, Islip 05-10-07[/i] Pours warm gold with good clarity the merest whiff of hops. Slightly medicinal flavour, in fact this tastes like drinking beer with a squirt of toothpaste added at the same time, sweet totally devoid of character.
