[Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading.] A dull chestnut brown pour with a tight creamy cream coloured head; cocoa aroma; smooth and creamy in the mouth with some raisins and chewy caramel malts; then a drier finish with a lingering cocoa taste. Very good indeed.

(Cask at Harp, Covent Garden, London, 24 Nov 2025) Golden amber colour with creamy, off-white head. Malty, hoppy nose with notes of apricot marmalade, orange peel and toast. Malty, slightly fruity taste with caramel, apricots, orange peel, citrus and a balanced earthy/citric bitterness in the finish. Medium body, quite dry. Tasty and well balanced. Nice one.

Cask at the Southampton Arms, London on 13th February 2026. Intensely dark sepia ruby with minimal foam soon decaying to a circumferential ring, yet affording scant lacing. Rich and intense roast maltiness in aroma. Fiery and smoky notes characterise a vibrant roastiness in-mouth, after which a long and smoky finish lingers. Medium bodied with a smooth texture. Superb.

Een paar dagen London voor werk. Meteen in Brentford (Black Dog Beer House) wat halfjes gedronken. Vrijwel helder gouden body en een dun laagje wit schuim dat wel goede retentie heeft. Aroma is moutig, granig, fruitig en een beetje hop. Smaak is lucht zoetig en heel licht bitterig. Lichte body maar niet heel dun. Bitterheid neemt toe in de afdronk. Fijn om weer eens cask ale te drinken.

Can from Peppered Pear Pantry, Godalming. New brewery for me. Yellowy-gold with an obvious prickly fizz and a rapidly vanishing white head. Lemon set against a buttery, bready background. Something didn't quite work for me on this one; can't put my finger on it. It's an ok beer though I guess.u
