Cask-conditioned at the Royal Oak, Bath 22/12/10. reddish copper in colour with a slight, off-white head. Sweetish, malty aroma with some red fruit and vague hint of spice. Flavours of caramel, berry fruit and nutmeg with a decent, bitter finish. A pretty good winter beer.

Bottle. Dark brown. The aroma is nutty and with a hint of fudge. Chocolatey, slightly fudgey and toasty. Decent beer - lacks a little life out of the bottle compared with some of the other Glastonburys I’ve had. Will have to track down on cask.

bottle from a wine shop in South Devon. Glasto pours a pale golden colour with a small white head. Shy lager-like beery nose. Malty, slightly hoppy, thin, hints of cardboard. Yawn.

@ King William, Bath. Golden-amber. The aroma has a remarkably deep toastiness. Again the palate is toasty, not much else. Too simple. Thin toastiness like an Arab non-alc.

bottle from Tesco Shaftesbury (the only local ale they had! - but what did I expect?). Chestnut colour, small fizzy head. Intensive malty nose with a hoppy touch. Very faint citrusy hop flavours are present. Bitter hops are detectable throughout. Bitter-sweet.

@ City Arms, Wells. Golden-amber. Loose head. Raspberry and apple fruitiness on the nose - a mix of yeast and subtle hopping. Some slightly sticky toffeeish malts with a tiny bit of toastiness, fruitiness and light orchard fruit hops over top.
