Cask hanpull at The Evening Star, Brighton. Amber coloured disappearing off white head. Toffee on the aroma. Quite sweet in the mouth. It’s a decent ESB, but the sweetness is a bit over the top. Some peppery hop on the finish. Smooth rounded toffee malt. Drinkable enough.

On cask at Baker Street W’spoons 27/2/09. Nice dark looking winter brew, quite rich and fruity but also a little plain. Very easy to drink. I rather like this brewery especially their A over T.

[Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading.] Dark tawny brown with a thin creamy tan head; aroma of malted milk and toasted grain; very milk-like in consistency, texture and flavour, slightly sour at first but developing rich toasted flavours, and a warming toffee finish. An excellent mild.

Bottle, 9%. Weak dried fruit flavour. Cloudy dark orange colour. No head. The flavour is sweet and fruity, dark fruit and so on. Has a little toasted notes as well, balancing off the sweetness. The alcohol is not as distinct as could be expected.
