Dark amber color, small off-white head. Nutty hops and dried fruits in the nose. There is also woody or cardboardish hints. A bit caramelly, nutty hoppy, toasted malty ESB. Finish is short with hints of cognac or punsch. Caramelly, quite weak aftertaste.

Cask handpull at The Rake, Borough Market. Ruby with thin beige head. Some butter. Dull, doesn’t go anywhere. Toasty. Just not very good. Nothing wrong with it, but just dull.

Cask, Clifton, Bristol. Deep dark brown colour with a creamy, muddy white head. Prominent malt, brandy soaked fruit and chocolate aroma. Rich full bodied christmas pudding like flavour Decent hoppy finish. Enjoyable, but expensive at about £3.40 a pint in some knightsbridgesque bar.

500ml bottle from Waitrose. Dark chestnut; poured absolutely flat, with no head at all; chocolate aroma; thin body with thin tastes, some chocolate and coffee, but mainly water. Pleasant enough but lacking any fizz.

Bottle. Clear orange to dark red body with a small disappearing beige head. Aroma is sweet malt and caramel. Flavor is malt, caramel and hops. Quite ordinary bitter, but harmonic and well made.

(Bottle 50 cl) Slightly hazy golden with a lively, white head. Malty aroma with a fruity touch. Medium body, a little low in carbonation with a good malt base and very pleasant, fruity accents. Dry and fairly bitter finish. 110208

(Bottle 50 cl) Clear, orangey brown with a small, creamy, beige head. Roasted aromas - perhaps also with some burned caramel. Medium-bodied, a little low in carbonation. Lovely notes of nuts and a little burned malts. The finish is dry with some malt astringency. 110208
