Cask at the Crosse Keys, JDW. Ruby brown pour with a fine, creamy head. Mild roast aroma with sugary malts. Some dark malts and sugar start flavor, faintly roasty, light cocoa. Light to medium in body with delicate carbonation. Weak roast finish with some herbal hops. Quite drinkable but very one-dimensional.

Cask gravity at Colchester BF 2011. Gold amber. No real head. Some syrupy fruit on aroma. It does remind me a bit of a Danish or Norweigian heer. Some fruit sweetness in there. Even some strawberry. Some strawberry jam on end. I liked this a lot

Cask@GBBF2009. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is wood, fruits, hops, grass and some mild sappy notes. Flavour is quite much the same. Wellbalanced. Gets quite grassy in the finish and aftertaste.
