Cask at Willow Walk, Victoria 16 Nov 08. Pale golden colored. A filmy white head. Modest sweet fruity aroma. Well rounded but lacks identity in flavor. Malty dominance with some fruity hints in the aftertaste.

Bottle at Cardinal. A finger-thick off-white to beige head sots on a clear copper body. Nice lacings. Dried fruits, some fresh fruits and pine cones, and toffee and bread in the aroma. The flavor is bready and toffeeish, sure on the malty side, but with a nice fruity touch and some dried fruits. Full-bodied and smooth, decent carbonation. Some bitterness in the finish. A pleasant and quaffable beer. (081130)

(Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm, 24 Jan 2009) Dark amber colour with frothy, beige head. Malty nose with dried fruit, caramel and toffee. Malty taste twith notes of dried fruit, caramel and some earthy hops in the finish. Medium to full body, too sweet. The hops are overshadowed by sweet malt. Tasty and warming, but too much sweetness makes it a bit unbalanced.

Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm. Clear nut brown, small head. Fruity toffeeish nose with evident alcohol. Sweet and near full bodied. Hone and jam are prominent and there is lots of carmamel while hops are fairly restrained. Finishes with more warming alcohol than bitterness.

Medium very white lasting head. Paleish yellow body. Fruity bubblegum aroma with vanilla notes. Sweetish-dryish banana bubblegum taste. Soft, mild mouthfeel. Thinnish body. Dry wooden fruity aftertaste with metallic notes. Quite nice, but a bit artificial. (0.25l cask, The Carpenter’s Arms, Marble Arch, London.)

Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm. Clear golden. Heavily fruity nose with plenty of dusty butter. Sweet and medium bodied with plenty of chewy fruity malt. The dusty butter gets more toned down after the nose, but lingers on well into the finish.

bottle from Tuckers Maltings. Hazy golden yellow, large and persistent white head. Aroma of flowery hops and citrus fruit. Full-bodied, pleasantly malty with good fruity flavours (lemon, bitter orange). Good balance between the bitterness and aroma of the hops. A delicious brew.

Cask at the Diamond poured into a British pint. It pours with a completely clear orange/amber color and a fake bubbly head created because of the cask (it of course fades quickly). Aroma is musky British malts with a cheap, watered down tea aroma. Taste is empty, plain dry cracker biscuit malts. Its ok but completely boring and useless.
