Gravity cask at Taproom - London. Pours clear yellow-gold with a slight white cream. The nose holds detergent and grains, with perhaps and accent of orange rind. Light sweet flavor, a little meaty and smokey, with touches of metal, grain. Light bodied and soft; no condition. Lightly astringent on the finish, with notes of soap, detergent and grain. If this was ever an acceptable beer it has long since been destroyed.

Cask at the Nags Head, Reading. Pale chestnut with a ring of off-white head; woody aroma; rich bitter chocolate malt taste, with a earthy body and a woody bitterness, then some warming spices; leaving some chewy malts to finish. Rather good.

330ml bottle from Borough Wines, Stoke Newington. Pours clear copper with fast receding bubbly head. Sweet caramel aroma. Taste is an initial tropical fruit hit, merging more towards a malty caramel character. Not too into this.

Bottle picked up from the a wine shop/off-licence in Henley on Thames, Oxon, consumed at Isobels, Eardisley, Herefordshire, Friday 25th July 2014 Pours light amber with bubbly large white head. Sweet is my first thought, soft in mouth a little caramel, its a little hoppy but this is blunted by the sweetness. Quite bland. A5 A3 T6 P3 Ov11 2.8
