Medium coarse offwhite head. Brown body. Faint malty sugary aroma. Delicate sweet-dry malty roasty wooden taste with resiny floral notes. Mild, smooth mouthfeel. Mid-bodied. Dry roasty caramelly aftertaste with dandelion floral notes. Nice, subtle, and drinkable. (0.33l cask at Akkurat, and at some Bishop’s Arms pub.)

Cask at the Hobgoblin, Reading. Black with a reddish tint and a thin tan head; deeply roasted malt aroma with hints of wood smoke and chocolate; dry, with a milky texture, and purple fruit flavours followed by a burst of sharp bitterness, then a dry lactic finish. Excellent.

Cask (Guide Dog, Southampton) - Dark brown, almost black in colour. Roasted malt and coffee in the aroma. Roasted malt and coffee taste with notes of bournville chocolate deteced. Nice and smooth and it has a lot of flavour and body for the strength.

Cask Conditioned at Oliver Twist, Stockholm
Dark amber color. The aroma is a bit sour, I expect to see fruit flies at any time. Caramel flavor, smooth but dry mouthfeel, with a light sourness out of place; correctly bitter. Probably not in good conditions.

Hazy goldon color, no head. A good Golden Ale, in parallel with the Stairway, less smooth and additionally it has a light citrus touch.

(Cask at Market Porter, Southwark, London, 28 Nov 2009) Nut brown colour with brief, beige head. Malty, nutty nose with dried fruit and caramel. Malty, nutty taste with notes of dried fruit, raisins, caramel and dusty hops in the finish. More than medium body, malt sweetness throughout. Nice and well balanced beer with a solid malt foundation and a good spicy bitterness to balance. Nice one.
