Hand-pulled pint in the Skegness Wetherspoonโs (The Red Lion) on 24th Oct 2013. Poured a reddy/brown deep amber colour with a medium density white head. The aroma was a mixture of toasted malts and semi-smoked peat with old fruit peelings. Taste wise it perked up a bit: mild caramel notes with less smokiness and more fruit hints, without old peel. Overall not too bad, it was the weakest of this years beers in the Wetherspoon Autumn Beer Festival and had enough character to stand along side plenty of beers with a higher ABV.

Cask at the Kings Highway, Inverness, 18/10/13. Clear golden with a good sized off white head, good lacing ensues. Nose is toasty malts, fruit tones, hint of caramel. Taste comprises tangy fruit, light citrus, cantaloupe melon, soft bread dough. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, light fruity finish. Ultimately an innofensive number but in fine fettle from that their spoons cellar which probably upped the score for me.
