Cask - West Gate Inn (JDW), Canterbury. Pours amber with a very fine, off white head, which makes only a fleeting appearance. Raisin on the nose with blueberry and a hint of rum. The raisin is more subdued on the palate, being a subtle overtone to a standard spicy malty base. Smooth mouthfeel, soft carbonation and a short, light grassy finish. Different, yet not bad. Not OTT on the raisin with enough beer taste to keep it from becoming cloying.

Nov 23, 2009 Cask, Doctor Duncans, Liverpool. I always have this when I see it, and this is my favourite Cains beer by a distance. Refreshing, pleasantly fruity and very moreish. Far more appealing than a lot of boring, samey UK ale out there and long may they keep producing this.

Nov 17, 2009 Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading. Amber with a thin cream head; fruity malt aroma; the sweet juicy raisin flavour is very pleasant and slightly spicy; the finish is dry, sweet and fruity. Overall well-balanced and not dominated by sweet fruit.

Nov 16, 2009 Handpulled cask at JDW Harrow on the Hill. Deep amber with an of white head. Raisins seem to come through in a predominately malty profile. Interesting.

Nov 15, 2009 Cask conditioned at a Wetherspoons. Copper colour with white head. Sweet and fruity, strangely of raisins I reckon, although thankfully not over the top. Slightly thin in the finish, but reasonable.

Nov 12, 2009 JDW Rochester. This does exactly what it says on the tin - it tastes like a fine raisin beer. It has a vanilla sweetness with a dry rusty finish. It’s OK.
