Gravity cask at the London Drinker BF 2014. Pours brown with a frothy tan head. Good snout with notes of dry cocoa and milk chocolate. Light sweet flavor with mild roasted malt character, further milk chocolate, slight earth, dried berries, chalky cocoa. Light bodied with fine carbonation; great condition. Balanced finish, more cocoa, roast, slight charcoal. Nicely balanced beer. Never gets too big for its britches.

On tap at the Malt Shovel. Appearance - toffee coloured and nice head. Nose - cinnamon and toffee. Taste - quite heavy on the cinnamon but good toffee sweetness and some biscuit spice on the finish. Palate - medium bodied with a rich texture and a fairly fresh finish considering. Overall - good ale and a bit different.

Cask, Greyfriars, St Andrews. Golden looks with a small white head. A little caramel and fragrant hop in the nose, but all quite restrained. Flavour was similar with some ok citrus character and a lingering bitter finish. Not bad, if a tad dull.

Cask at the Moon Under Water (JDW), Watford on 27 October. Poured a clear copper colour with a rocky off white head. Aroma of straw, tinned fruit and a slight medicinal note. Bitter fruit flavours with caramel and hay in the mix, but it’s all rather off balance. Finish is astringent bitterness with fruit rind and spruce. Not to my liking at all.

The Playhouse, Spoons. Cask. Clear amber beer with a tidy pale cream coloured head. Palate is smooth and semi dry. Tangy ripe orange, semi sweet. Smooth creamy malt with a light floral touch. Whispers of tropical fruits and smoke. Finishes semi dry. Complex and quite interesting.
