Cask at the Pembury Tavern, London - shared with Jack. Pours dark brown with a weak, tan foam head. Soured dark malt nose, some dark grapes...this beer is in bad shape. Very tangy flavor, enough to be undrinkable. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Tangy finish, more sour dark fruits and sour malts. Pretty wretched stuff. Quite obviously this beer is not as it should be. I canโt believe the pub would serve it.

Hand-pulled pint on 22 Sep 2012 during the โOakengates Folk and Ale Dayโ in the Crown Inn. Mid-range everything really: brown body, biege head. mini mixed, weak aromas of both malts and fruity hops. The taste was also neither here or there: just a semi-bland beer going nowhere. A bit of a disappointment actually: body depth was also Mr Average.

Cask at GBBF. It pours deep ruby, with a medium white head. The nose is dark fruit, slight sourness/malt vinegar, roasted malt and liquorice. The taste is caramel, dark fruit (particularly cherry and red grape), wood, vinous aspect, liquorice and cola, with a dry finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Smooth and rather drinkable. A solid mild.
