Cask at the Monks Retreat (JDW), Reading. A phenomenal mild in my opinion. Shiny black in colour with a tawny hue, and a tan head; aroma of burnt treacle; thinly bodied but with rich locorice and burnt treacle flavours; and a finish that remids me of Pontefract Cakes. Excellent.

Cask. A nut-brown beer with a light tan head. The aroma has notes of malt, caramel, and nuts. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, and nice grassy and fruity hop notes, leading to a dry grassy and grapefruity finish where notes of toffee lingers.
