Cask at the Euston Tap. Clear auburn pour with a light film. Bready malt aroma, lightly toasted. Doughy bread flavor with faint toast, caramel, plum, light earth bitters, but really light. Light to medium in body with fine carbonation. Malty finish, some sugary caramel. Nothing special but totally drinkable.

500ml bottle. Pours near pitch black with a small head. Aroma is coffee, there is a bit of rum there too. Flavour is pretty much all coffee. There is a smoothness which I think is the vanilla.

[Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading] Pale amber-copper, moderate white head, slight prickly fizz. Ginger is certainly the domninant flavour, but not overwhelmingly so, and it’s not too hot and spicy either. The underlying beer still shows through, and it’s as decent a beer as you’d expect from this often impressive brewery. Superb balance between the ginger & the beer - really enjoyed this.

Cask at the Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell. Amber with a thin off-white head that left lots of lacing on the glass; spicy ginger aroma; the initial taste has lots of fresh root ginger, then this changes to a more ground ginger feel - definitely ginger though!; the finish is dry with more ginger and a valiant showing from the hops which stand up well against all things ginger. A ginger beer.
