Cask at the Corn Exchange (JDW), Leicester. Mid-brown and a little translucent with a scummy off-white head. Aroma of dark malts, some fruits. Sweet taste, a little bit of fruity sourness. Flat, watery body. Not great.

Cask at Smithfield, Derby. Pours almost black with minimal cream head. The aroma is a mix of roasted malts and blackcurrants. Roast malts to the fore again in the mouth, but the most prominent feature is the alcoholic strength which colours everything else. There is a slight sweetness, and flavour of parkin, old english spangles and traces of nuts. Finish is very dry and boozy. It’s a decent beer, but too much naked alcoholic strength for me.

Cask at Standing Order, Derby. Pours a hazy golden amber with minimal off-white head and good lacing. The aroma has floral hops and honey. In the mouth it has a slightly watery texture. Main flavours are malts and honey with some hints of spices, marmalade and ginger. Some traces of apples later on as well. Finish is slightly bitter. Overall this is decent.
