Cask, gravity dispensed, at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading. Golden amber with a ring of translucent head; floral aroma; soft and fruity in the mouth, with apples and pear flavours; then some warmth and a sustained, gentle, earthy, bitterness to finish. Not bad.

[Cask at the Monks Retreat (JDW), Reading] Amber with a moderate white head. Some florals, some lemon, some caramel, but itโs all rather vague, bland and messy. A half-hearted attempt at a beer.

Cask at the Elm Tree, Cambridge. Clear yellow straw coloured pour with a broken thin white head and no lace. Thereโs a hint of malt in the aroma, but all the enjoyment is in the lovely peppery, spicy, bitter flavour. That pepper hits the palate and stays around for quite a while. A really super session beer. Worth hunting down.

Rich sweet smelling stout that gives the impression it is stronger than it is.
