Cask at Canary Wharf Spoons. It pours clear brown with a quickly dissipating off-white head. The aroma is sweet, sticky, cake, caramel, fruit bun, brown bread and wood. The taste is bitter - sweet, toffee, toasted brown sugar, wood, leather, dried berry, fruit loaf and a lick of alcohol with a dry, woody finish. Medium + body and lowish carbonation. A bit dry and woody after a while. Not bad, but its not overly drinkable.

Cask at the Queen Hotel (JDW), Aldershot. A bright golden amber pour with a thin translucent head; fruity aroma, like a sweet sherry; dry in the mouth with some berry fruit; then a dry biscuity finish. Unexpectedly good, hiding the strength well.
