Cask at The New Oxford, Manchester. A nut-brown beer with a thin tan head. The aroma has strong notes of caramel as well as medium notes of malt and light notes of roasted malt. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of roasted malt as well as light notes of chocolate, and hints of coffee, leading to a dry bitter coffeeish finish.

Cask at the Cask Pub & Kitchen, London on 18th December 2009. Pale with whitish thin head. Nutmeg spice, flavour of mince pies and generally Belgian-leaning spice notes along with fruit aroma (I got berry fruit) and a smooth but engaging texture. Enjoyable pint.

[Cask at the Hobgoblin, Reading] Deep amber, off-white head. No fizz. Mouthfeel rather weak and watery. Sweet fruity malt comes through a little, but lots of sickly pear drops ruin it. Very poor I thought - was I drinking a different beer to everyone else here?
