Beer Number 15 at the Wetherspoon Spring Beer Festival 2025, leaving 13 of 30 still untried. Decent looking but its Vienna styliing in cask form is also very appealing. Hopped nose, nice sugars in taste.

Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading. Dull auburn colour with a yellowy-beige head. Nutty toffee with floral hints but it's all a bit lifeless and dull. Needs something to liven it up a bit. Not great.

Hand pulled third of a pint in The Moon Under Water, (A Spoons in Hounslow) on 7th March 2025. Nice looked beer, clean and clear amber with a creamy topping. Floral nose with a slight citrus leaning in both the aroma and taste, hints of sweetness followed by a semi-bitter finish, decent!

Cask at Shrewsbury Hotel, Shrewsbury. Pours dark copper with a small cream head and good lacing. The aroma has a pleasant mix of floral hops, marzipan and caramel. In the mouth it is slightly sweet with a creamy texture and floral hops and malts. Later on there are hints of ginger and toffee. A little bitterness in the dry finish. This is quite decent.

0.33 l can, thanks to my family for this. Pours jet black with thin, long lasting beige head. Nose is grains, chocolate, moderate coffee and some nuts. In taste there's some chocolate, nuts and grains with a subtle, but detectable hoppy touch at the end. Medium bitterish finish, soft carbo and light, smooth body. An easy-to-drink beer that's full of flavours, good one!
