Cask at The Kingston CAMRA Beer & Cider Festival, Kingston upon Thames. An amber/brown coloured pour with a medium off white head on top. Rich, sweet, fruity, malty, caramel action. Incredibly sweet and syrupy. Expected something better from Harvey's. I really struggled to finish this one.

Clear chestnut pour with a small white head. Aromas of (roasted) malt, nuts, dried fruits/berries. Taste is roasted malt, caramel, a hint of oak - could be a bit bolder, even for an AF.

Sample from bottle at Carnivale Brettanomyces during lecture about British yeast. Didn't take many notes, just enjoyed good beers and good company. What I do remember: Fruity, dense, earthy, molasses, floral hop, subtle Brett. Great.

I believe this is a 2007 bottle. It has been with me almost that long. Deep opaque brown with almost no bubbles. Smell has strong barley and a thread of alcohol. Thought there was some oxidation in there, but it was gone after a minute. Butter toffee in the taste, then, not really much to follow. Yes some alcohol, but a rather thin mouthfeel. Swirling up the dregs from the bottle gives it a bit more flavor. Kind of a tea crossed with Coca Cola.

440ml can from Middle Farm, Firle. Poured a clear dark amber colour with a mostly lasting frothy off white head. The aroma is nutty, big woody hops. The flavour is over moderate bitter, with a smooth, somewhat rich, earthy, big woody hop bitter palate and a long bitter finish. Over medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Cask at The Royal Oak. It pours amber with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is soft, fragrant, floral, dried fruits, brown bread, toffee, caramel and fruit cake. The taste is smooth, bitter - sweet, toasty grains, earthy, woody, leather, some pucker, light tannin, leather and some chewiness with a drying finish. Light+ body and moderate carbonation. Really well done.
