Cask handpull at The Lord Moon of the Mall Whitehall. Black beer lasting beige head. Touch of liquorice on the aroma. Never my favourite flavour in a beer. But the rest of the beer is ok. Solid. Ok dark beer. I quite like the finish but can’t say why . Ok

Cask at the Claude du Vall (JDW), Camberley as Dorset Midnight Blinder. An attractive ruby port colour with a thick creamy cream head that left excellent lacing right to the bottom of the glass; the aroma is fairly straightforward milk chocolate; but in the mouth it’s much more complex, smooth and dry, with well roasted malts giving flavours of cherry, purple fruits, and toasted nuts; then a bitter chocolate finish to round things off very nicely. Seems like a Porter to me, and a jolly good one at that. (Although the JDW tasting notes describe it as a Stout - and it’s listed as an English Strong Ale here.)

500ml bottle @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, Oct 19. Thanks Mike. Pours a misty golden amber, sparse frothy bubbles atop. Aroma is caramel, marmalade.. good balanced sweetness to it, marmalade, juicy toffee fruit. Not bad, not great. AUG 9TH 2013 Cask at Camp Bestival, Lulworth. Mild, uncomplicated, full-tasting ale. Has a pleasing aftertaste, almost verging on orange zest without actually getting there.
