Cask, half-pint in Oddfellows, Exeter on 11th Nov 2017. Good looking beer, copper bronze body, off-white crown. Malty but not really treacle sweet at all, caramel and slight toffee flavours, light hop bitterness in the finish. Liked it.

Clear golden beer, thin head. Basically bugger all aroma but for touch or citrus. Sweet citrus, malt and a bit of hop in the taste. Fantastically bland but alright.

Cask-conditioned, on gravity, at Swindon Beer Festival 26/10/2017. Copper in colour, with a slight, off-white, head. Leafy hops, a hint of spice, sweet, golden syrup, notes, with some biscuity malts, before a suggestion of the house yeast character and moderately bitter finish. A good beer.

Handpull cask at the Old Horse, Leicester. Orange/tan, clear, with a small compact off-white head. Butterscotch and hazelnut aroma. Pleasant but a touch artificial. Bittersweet biscuity taste with harsher hop flavour at the end. It's nicely balanced and has a pleasant silky palate. Not perfect but enjoyable enough.

Cask at PoW, Farnborough. Vague malty aroma. Medium brown. Thin off-white head. Medium bitter. Guess the treacle may contribute to this but it's not obvious. A burnt caramel at best. Thin. Watery. Flat. Abrupt. More kick than I expected but a bore.

Cask handpull at GBBF 2017. Some house yeast malty. Not quite as good as the Old Timer before it. Some malty sweetness. Some hop on finish. Not quite top notch but ok.
