Cask at the Victoria Station JDW. Chestnut with a compact beige head; rich and malty aroma; sweet earthy malt flavour with a touch of licorice and coffee; dry tingly finish with an underlying and lasting bitterness. More a Porter than a Mild in my opinion.

Cask at the Crosse Keys, JDW. Pours a lovely, rich ruby-brown with a creamy, light beige cap. Nose holds underripe berries and just hints of roasted malts. Lightly sweet flavor, some dark fruits, a little burnt toast. Light in body with fine carbonation. Finish has some woody notes, bit of sugar and subtle roast. Easy drinking, alright beer.
