Cask at the Crosse Keys, JDW. Pours a rich garnet with a tan head. Ripe, dark fruits on the nose. Interesting flavor, lightly sweet, some toasty bread, mild nuts, some roasted malts and cocoa, then some mild citrus bitterness. Light to medium in body with fine carbonation. Finishes dry with some ash, bit of wood and roasted malts, some earthy, herbal hops in the throat. Not too shabby!

Cask-conditioned at the Lord Moon of the Mall (JDW), London 22/03/2011. Dark, reddish brown with a decent, off-white head. Sweetish, berry fruit and chocolate aroma. Flavour had plenty more chocolate and fruit, with some added orange and decent bitter finish. Enjoyable.

Cask. A deep red beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt and caramel. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of roasted malt and toffee, leading to a dry and bitter finish.
