On tap @ the Haymarket. Pours dark red brown with a proportionate head. The nose is of apple strudel. The taste is almost all of malt with burnt raisins. The palate seems pleasant and balanced at the start but from the middle to the end it is a little too burnt and astringent. Overall, so-so.

Cask at the Prince Arthur (JDW), Fleet. Amber with a thin white head; distinct aroma of pear drops; soft and fruity in the mouth with a dry grainy body and more pear drops; and a tart fruit finish. Not sure if that was how it was supposed to taste; but not bad all the same.
