Gravity cask at the Wandsworth Halloween BF 2011. Pours clearish brown with a small, white head. Toasty, lightly roasty dark malt nose. Moderate roast flavor, faint smoke, some toasty brown sugar, light earth. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Mild roast finish, some minerals, light smoke, light cocoa. Pretty solid beer.

[Cask at the Monk’s Retreat (JDW), Reading] Very fruity up front (sweet stewed plums & apple?). Caramel and some herby hints followed through, including some rather pleasant hints of burnt caramel, like the scrapings from the bottom of the caramel pan. Restrained bitterness in the finish. Rather enjoyed this.

Cask handpull at Baker Street Spoons. Clear pale brown with sparse off white head. Some tropical fruit on the aroma. Peculiar as i get some liquorice. Spicy rye is there. Needs more hops. Spicy rye finish. Ok. Just a bit interesting but doesnt go the whole hog. A little restrained but the rye is definitely present
