On cask in London. Smooth mild and fresh beginning. Easy to drink, smooth and a bit grainy body, fresh but a bit piney. Nice Ale-characteristics, fresh and mild aftertaste. Nice!

Cask at WHOAF 2015. It pours near black with a thick, off-white head. The nose is toasty, earthy roast, dark fruits, jammy berry, burnt fruit cake and a hint of tobacco smoke. The taste is rich, earthy roast, wood, leather, some bitterness, some charred wood, dirt, old leather sofa, firm bitterness and some underlying dried fruits/fruit cake with a dry, woody finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Perhaps a touch woody, but it does have a good depth of flavour. A very respectable old ale.

Cask at the Hobgoblin, High Wycombe. Deep gold with a thin white head and a moderate fizz. A little sharp lemon up front and some light floral notes behind. Mild flavours for an APA, could do with being crisper, but pleasant enough I guess.
