Cask at the Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell. Copper coloured with a dense white head; nutty malty aroma; sweet malt flavour, but rather thin; dry and nutty finish. An unexceptional bitter.

Cask conditioned handpull at Postal Order, JDW, Worcester. Chestnut colour lasting beige head. It’s alright, bit of biscuit on a normal bitter. Bit of yeast character on aroma. Not much hop on finish. Some toffee, some biscuit.

Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms, Bristol 3/11/09. Chestnut in colour with a slight, off-white head. Aroma of doughy malts, red fruit and a whiff of marmite. Flavour had plenty of sweetish malts, a bready edge and very bitter finish. Not wonderful.

30th March 2008 Dark ale - hides the alcohol well. Smooth and a good balance of malt and hops but not overly in your face.

Cask, full pint, cellar cold at The Flying Horse, Gatwick. Slightly unclear golden-amber body. Tiny, white head reduced to a patchy surface. Malt-fruity smell. Some apricot mixed with grain in flavour. Too few hints of hop bitterness to the ending. Alright, but not in prime shape at the pub. In fact, rather vapid in the mouth (waiting for hours at the airport for a new plane, 08.08.2009).
