| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Mar 30, 2009 A Mes rate: cask at Baker St ’Sporks. Copper coloured with a good creamy off white head. Slight apple in the aroma does it no favours. Pleasant nutty malt dominated flavour with a faint dusky bitterness. Good fruit and a little caramel add some depth. Good body. Decent chewy malt finish but let down again by some burnt plastic. The middle is good, shame it starts and ends poor. bobinlondon (842), Harrow, Greater London, England
