Cask-conditioned at the Robin Hood, Bristol 10/08/10. Amber with a slight, off-white head. Light fruity malt aroma with a touch of citrus hop. Easy drinking, with slightly bready malts, orange fruit and a dryish finish. Fine.

[Cask at the Foxham Inn, Foxham, near Chippenham] Deep amber with a moderate off-white head. Bitter citrus, earthy malt, autumn leaves. Yet another paint-by-numbers English bitter. Ho hum.

On gravity at Bristol beer festival, 19/03/10. Reddish amber in colour with an off-white head. Aroma of sweet malts, vanilla, oak and a touch of rum. Flavour was sweet, with oak and more vanilla prominent, some molasses and a moderately bitter finish. Ok, but not as good as the standard Bristol Red - the vanilla and wood started to grate after a while.

Cask at GBBF 2009. Black beer, lasting beige head. Slightly lactic, roasty beer, bit sweet, mot much dryness from malts or hops. Ture to the style, if too sweet for me. Good choc/lactic character.
