Cask at Shrewsbury Arms, Stafford. Pours golden yellow with minimal scummy almost white head and good lacing. The aroma has floral hops, caramel and hints of bread rolls. In the mouth it is sweet with malts to the fore. Favour also has oranges and hints of honey and melon with a little spiciness coming through later. It’s reasonable.

(Cask at Lyric, Soho, London, 25 Nov 2024) Golden amber colour with foamy, off-white head. Malty nose with notes of toast, dried fruit, apricots and earthy hops. Malty, slightly fruity taste with apricots, toast, citrus peel and a balanced earthy bitterness. Medium body, quite dry. Tasty and well balanced bitter. Nice one.

Cask at Chelmsfaasarhd Beer Fest. Note this beer has 4 'X' and at 12.7% is a deal stronger than the 10.0% XXXK. Also, as per brewer notes on the earlier beer, the number of X's is meant to denote strength. A mild to medium haze on this amber beer, very small and short cream colour head. Smooth palate, decent fine carbonation. Soft caramel and cream malts, slightly savoury caramel. A little unsweet and slightly dark toffee. Pronounced ripe fruits on the back end, somewhat dominated by ripe pear. A pear and caramel smooth and slightly viscous finish. Decent barleywine.
