[500ml bottle from Maureen & Dave - cheers!] Dirty dark gold with a large foaming white head and slight to moderate carbonation. Decent rich mouthfeel. Peaches up front, straw throughout, and some lemon in the finish. On the dry side, but little bitterness. A decent bitter that exceeded my expectations.

Cask at the Cricketers, Croydon. It pours clear amber, with a very thin bubbly head and low carbonation. The nose is wood, red berry and varnish. The taste is wood, astringent, varnish, red berry, earth and toast, with an astringent-wood finish. To be honest this was quite tough to finish.

Copper-bronze. Has a floral-herbal (sage, mint) aroma. Has a toasty character, a bit crackerlike, and the alcohol shows through a bit in the finish.

Cask at The Crosse Keys, JDW. Clear, red-gold pour with a whisper of a film. Toasty biscuit, sugary malt nose. Medium sweet flavor, lots of grainy, toasty biscuits, tons of toffee (but not too sweet) with some herbal bitters. Medium in body with soft carbonation. Well toasted biscuits and hearty bread to finish, sweet enough with just hints of hops. Good beer, condition could be better.

Cask handpull at Penderels Oak JDW HOLBORN. Very biscuit full malty bitter. Some sour fruit on aroma leads to a rich full biscuit mouthfrel and then more sour hedgerow fruit on tangy finish. A well constructed best bitter. Decent beer
