Cask at the Lord Moon of the Mall (JDW), Whitehall. Hazy amber with a dense cream head; fruity aroma with citrus orange; sweet grapefruit flavour and a grainy body; then a dry and fruity finish. Very drinkable.

Full flavoured treacle toffee ale, so much so it is like eating the very sweets it copies.

Cask handpull at Star Inn Huddersfield. Proper warming dark premium bitter with deep dark fruits and peppery hops like wot people dont make now as they only want to make golden ales. Proper syrupy rich fruits. This is what i want on a wild wet windy late november afternoon. It put me in a good mood which even the screaming kid couldnt kill. Tight sparkler and 4 days open taking its toll.

[Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading] Chestnut-black with a large tan head and a slight fizz. Chocolate, caramel and vanilla throughout. Maybe a hint of liquorice too. A little roastiness prevents it from being too sweet and sticky. A decent pudding beer, but I don’t think you’d want to drink pints of the stuff! Nevertheless, I rather enjoyed it.
