Cask @ Manchester & County, Manchester. Chestnut-red with a frothy head. Has a nice winter warmer texture without feeling its strength. Has a few malts, with chocolate the most prominent flavour, and can be found in both its aroma and taste. Has a dry aftertaste.

Cask handpull at County Hotel Spoons Ashford. Kind of half way through a half pint and I like it. Sweetish toffee red fruits. Some good pepper hops on the finish. Good I thought.

Cask at the Monks Retreat, Reading. Mahogany-black in hue with a beige head. Creosote, ribena, and smoked meat up gront. Blimey, that’s a bigger punch of flavour than I expected from this brewer. Coal fire and more blackcurrant follows, with the blackcurrant leading the way by the end. Can’t imagine the average Spoon’s punter liking this but I was quite impressed. Verdict: hell, yeah!

Cask, on gravity at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol October 2015. Dark brown in colour, with a slight, off-white, head. Toasty malts, a touch of berry fruit sweetness, tangy milk chocolate and a moderately dry finish. Good.

Cask at the Windlesora, Tourist Town, 30/10/15. Extremely dark mahogany brown with a well appointed tan head. Nose is light chocolate, spice, trace of wood must, toffee. Taste comprises earthy notes, slightly fusty, dark fruit rinds, herbal rinse, dark malt, background charr, trace of peppermint. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close. Ok if a touch overly earthy and carrying a herbal linger.

Penderel’s Oak Spoons. Cask. Clear dark red - deep amber beer, a few white bubbles. Smooth palate, very mild carbonation. Smooth malts with a tangy caramel and a mildly sweet lactose - cream. Trace of coffee and dark chocolate. Smooth finish brings a little toffee. Tasty enough.

Håndpumpet halfnpint på The Mossy Well (Muswell Hill), sammen med Steven: mørk, rødlig mahogny med fint skum hele veien. Myk og fruktig, med kaffe og sjokolade, og med en fin tørrhet i avslutningen. En god, lett og lettdrikkelig stout.
