Cask handpull at Thomas Ingoldsby, JDW, Canterbury during the Spoon Mass Tasting. Clear reddish amber with a lasting dark beige head. Certainly a good looking beer. Some very good fruit in the mouth red and dark fruits. Malts are quite sweet too. Not much like Uerige fresh or a couple of the others, as this is a bit fuller than something like the Schlossel. But overall it’s a tasty fullish sweetish malty beer with some dryness on the finsih. Would I pick this as an Alt in a blind tasting? Probably not, more a malt led best bitter. Drinkable enough though.

Cask at the Bear and Billet, Chester. Very fruity and mellow. Seems like there is more than 50% barley malt in here, as there is a good barley taste. Great wheat flavor, though, too. Very strong hops. It is rich and fruity, with a fruit and hop finish. Very nice.

Cask at the Monks Retreat (JDW), Reading. This was a rather disappointing porter for me; pitch black in colour with a loose tan head, it missed the sparkle of colour I associate with a good porter; the aroma had some roasted malts and vague peat smoke, but lacked depth; the body was thin with some licorice flavour; leading to a gentle bitter finish with some milk chocolate. I was expecting far more evidence of the smoky character.
