Cask at the Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell. Hazy amber with a scummy looking off-white head; fruity aroma, with a hint of malt; tropical fruit flavours, but with a muddy, floury, body; the finish has some sharp and disagreeable bitterness, and then some biscuit. Not a pleasant experience.

Bottled. An unclear dark golden beer with a huge off-white head. The aroma has notes of malt, fruit, and perfume. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of alcohol as well as medium notes of dusty hops, leading to a dry and bitter finish. Thanks fiulijn for sharing.

Cask@GBBF2010. Pale ambery golden colour, small head. Aroma is fruits, wood, some grass and mild herbal notes. Flavour is quite much the same, but the herbal and grassy notes are quite much stronger. Pleasant, rather hoppy bitter.

Cask gravity at Reading BF 2010. Black with a thin bubbly tan head. Some powder on aroma, some coffee and choc, more coffeeish on the finish. It’s better on the finish, than on the aroma or body, so fairly ok

Cask at the Thomas Lloyd (JDW), Warwick. An excellent stout - glossy, mollases black in colour with a thin tan head; the aroma is primarily chocolate malt, but with perhaps a hint of coffee; the body is thin but very well flavoured, doing exactly what it says on the pump clip - sweet chocolate, mellow coffee and milk, are all clearly present. The finish id dry, warming, and moreish.

30th December 2008. Hazy brown beer, very frothy head but it quickly dies away to nothing. Soft and creamy IPA - the hops are juicy and not overpowering and impart a soft marmalade flavour. A nice undertone of creamy malt. Finishes with warming hints of port. Very civilised and tasty!
