Cask conditioned at Far from the Madding Crowd, 16-06-07. Poured mid brown colour with great clarity and small white head. Nice hoppy nose with some malt. Tasted initially malty with nice sweetness running through but finishes with a great flourish, lovely bitterness and hoppy character, this really was a very nice beer indeed.

Pour is a black with a HUGE frigging head. It almost came over the side of my glass and i only poured about 1/4 of the bottle. Aroma is hard to get past the head. Somewhat roasty and sweet. Flavor is typical dry stout. Roasted malt with some coffee and molasses. Still this is just ok, a notch above Guiness.

Cask, handpump at The Bell, Leominster. Copper in colour with a small white head, a good session beer if a smidgen too sweet, but not as nice as the Wye Valley HPA that I also tried.

Pour is a dark hazy red with an average white head. Aroma is a nice mix of spice and cinnamon. Flavor is also a nice mix of flavors. Some hops show up but a nice spice hits the tounge along with some dustyness and caramel malts. A nice brew to sip on a cold night.

Bottle. Brown beer with a light head. The aroma is lightly roasted and the flavour is dry, caramel, lightly hopped and slightly warming. Overall a nice plain beer.

Bottle, SH Jones, Bicester, 04-11-06. Pours mid brown in colour. aroma quite malty with some seasonal spices, taste never quite lived up to expectations though as with all the Dorothy Goodbodys I’ve had so far it was still pretty good. Flavour was malty and with good hoppiness, little bit nutty, but quite tasty if a bit unexciting. Had this again 16-12-06 and really enjoyed so have upped the ratiung slightly.

(Bottle 50 cl) Pours a clear mahogany with a warm, reddish glow and a dense and frothy, beige head leaving a broad rim of lacework. Aromas dominated by roasted malt and chocolate. Medium body with both roasted and burned malty accents. Also both licorice and chocolate. Bitter, burned finish from the malts. A wholesome stout indeed! Yummy. 240906
