Cask @ HBF โ11. Rated on 08.04.2011
Aroma has toffee typical to goldings, some hay and roastiness. Flavour has some roastiness, chocolate and caramel. Good and rich real ale.
7+3+7+3+14 = 3.4
50 cl bottle @ย home
Quite the same, but salty licorice also occurs and the chocolate is only in the background.
7+4+6+3+13 = 3.3

Bottle. Amber with a medium-sized white head. Aroma of lemon and flowers, light biscuit. Sweet with peaches and a little caramel, lemon and a little pepper. Thinnish mouthfeel, a little overcarbonated. Solid bitter finish. A decent bitter in good nick.

Crosse Keys Spoons. Clear gold beer, residual white head. Tangy dried fruits with an odd estery pear note, banana too, coming through quite strongly. Finishes with sweet orange marmalade and then mild bitterness. Not at all unpleasant but a little off the wall.

Cask @ JDW Elgin [271211] 3/3/6/3/9 2.4
Amber..clear..dense white head..some lacing...very little aroma....Taste of caramel and biscuity malts, yeast, earthy bitter hops and an odd offputting component in there I canโt describe...plain taste...Palate - soft carb....thin body..bitter...wheaty.....very dry finish...lingers..weetabix cereal.
Overall - Almost no aroma, taste plain and a bit odd, most of the flavour in the finish. Nothing christmassy about this beer.
