Cask (Hole In The Wall, Portsmouth) - Copper brown in colout. Malty aroma with some fruity hints. The taste is also malty with some raisins and other dried fruits. Drinkable but unspectacular.

Cask Conditioned at The Castle, Furnival St., London
Delicate, nice, caramel and fudge aroma. Round mouthfeel, smooth, with a good sweet caramel flavor, malt, toffee, and in the end, shy, a quality hopping appears. Good.

Cask handpull at The Castle, Holborn. Diacetyl. Some heat from the alcohol on finish, but too buttery for me.

Bottled@Fonefan. Amber colour, small head. Aroma is hops, caramel, sweetish sour fruits and mild notes of toffee. Flavour is hops, grass and some mild citrusy notes. Aftertaste has a strange soapyness coming in. Interesting, yet not that special.
