Cask @ Mile Castle JDW, Newcastle 090912
Caramel brown, dense off white head with some lacing
Aroma - soft caramel malts, not much on the aroma
Taste - soft caramel malts. toffee malts, hint of chocolate, good flavour, alcohol well hidden, would like more flavour though - I remember it beingt a tad more intense than this
Palate - thinnish body. Finish as main flavour witha bit of soft lingering toasted malts with a bit of cocoa
Overall - Seems to be not as good when I’ve had it before - will re-rate next time I see it

Cask at GBBF. It pours amber, with no head. The nose is wood, leather, sweat, tinned fruit and a hint of eggy sulphur. The taste is sweet tinned pear, melon, raisin, leather, earth, brown bread and dust, with a dry finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. So-so.

Chelmsford Beer Festival. Lightly hazy amber beer, no real head. Palate is smooth and a little dry. Ginger dominates everything, can’t taste any malt or hops. However the ginger is nice and fresh. Warming ginger aftertaste.

Chelmsford Beer Festival. Light haze on this gold beer, no real head. Light dry palate, very mild fine carbonation. Mild orange citrus with a little honey. Pretty dry finish. Okay. More of a low carbonation golden than a lager. Bit too dry.

Cask at Chapel Beer Festival. Clear amber brown beer. Semi dry palate. Rich malt. Fruity but with a distinct bubblegum undertone. Porter like dark fruits. Very nicely flavoured beer.
