Cask at the Moon & Sixpence (Wetherspoons), Hatch End. A golden coloured pour with a medium dense white head on top. Hoppy, malty, citrus, caramel, quite sweet and boozy with a hint of honey. Quite decent for Twickenham.

[50cl bottle from Longacres, Bagshot.] A glossy black pour with a fast fading beige coloured head; aroma of roasted malts, chocolate and caramel; rather thin in the mouth, but with caramel, chocolate and coffee flavours; then a drier finish with some purple fruit, coffee grounds, and charred grains. Very drinkable.

[50cl bottle from Longacres Garden Centre, Bagshot.] S cola brown pour with little head and light carbonation; pleasant honey aroma - not too overpowering; a proper old-fashioned mild taste - malty with a hint of chocolate, sugary without being too sweet; and a light spicy bitterness. The honey is well hidden, which suits me. This really reminds me of how milds used to taste.

Cask halfpint at Wetherspoon's, Victoria Station. 3.8%. Deep golden colour, small white head. Moderate aroma of malts and earthy hops. Distinct earthy hops in the fairly dry flavour, sufficient malts for its strength.
