Apr 20, 2009 Cask handpull at Samuel Peto, Jdw, Folkestone. I enjoyed this in bottle, so I was interested in it on cask. Yes, still a veery solid better than average best brown bitter. Good toffee and fruity malt. I like it.

Apr 19, 2009 Cask conditioned at a Wetherspoons. Dark chestnut with white head. A bitter type of mild, roasted malt, a little fruity with some hop and caramel toffee, however there is a rubbery, wet tyre note in the cask version that I never got in the bottled which was a little off putting. Average.

Apr 17, 2009 [Gravity cask at Back of Beyond, Reading] Pours deep amber-ruby (pale for a modern mild) with a slight white head. Tastes of caramel and malt and buttered toast, but with bitterness in the finish that (although only moderate) is a little too strong for the flavours. Felt a little watery. Overall it’s OK, but a little disappointing coming from one of my favourite brewers. c7
