500ml bottle at the Grain Barge, Bristol. Deep gold in colour, with a decent, foamy off-white head. Aroma of apricots, oranges and a touch of caramel. Flavour began with some sweetness, before a spicy hop kick and decent, dry finish. Good.

Cask-conditioned at the Royal Oak, Bath 3/1/09. Chestnut coloured with a decent, off-white head. Aroma had some caramel, red fruit and a hint of spicing. Malty flavour, with some sweetness giving way to cinnamon and other spices (nutmeg?), and a decent bitter finish. Drinkable.

Bottle, Corks of Cotham, Bristol. Poured a blackish brown with a very thin biege head. Some malt and sweetness in the aroma. Fairly soft mouthfeel. Was expecting something a bit creamier and hoping for a bit more in the flavour which whilst having some nice elements of chocolate and malt, doesn’t quite nudge this into the realms of being very good.

Cask gravity at Battersea BF 08. Chestnut with lasting beige head. Looks in good nick. That’s alright. It’s a best bitter, decent berry fruit. It’s actually pretty good considering the 4 beers that went before. Mind you I did get bored with the English beers after this one and went onto the Germans.
