Commercial Description:
Cask; Seasonal - May.
This magic potion is in the tradition of milds and 60/-. Tempting chocolately colour, complex mixture of liquorice and mocha aromas. Luscious deep malty flavour.

A brown coloured brew, with a light malty chocolate flavour. A nice simple pint.

Cask (handpump), Knights Templar (JDW), Chancery Lane, London. A dark ruby coloured brew with a beige head. Roasty aroma, but there’s some unwelcome diacetyl in there. Lost of roast malt in the flavour with a touch of creamy chocolate. Fairly sweet. A decent enough mild, but there’s not really anything particularly magic, or potion-like, about it.

Cask at the Market Porter, Southwark. Dark, almost black but with ruby hints. The beer lacks body and is rather boring, with a fairly bland taste with quite a lot of fruit. No character.

Cask at The Wellington, Birmingham. Dark and creamy with a good head. Chocolate and caramel aromas but lacking in flavour. Not bad but pretty average.

<!-- i -->Cask Conditioned, at The Surry Docks (JDW), London.<!-- /I --><!-- br --> Deep rustic brown colour, patchy, sudsy head. Lovely, lifting hoppy aroma. Looks all the world like a light mild, drinks a beautiful hoppy flavour though. I finely made beer and my first rate at this pub.

Cask handpull at County Hotel, JDW, Ashord. Deep russet colour with thin beige head. Good toffee malt, soft in mouth, some coffee. Quite a lot of flavour for a light alcohol beer. Wettish in mouth as you’d expect, with toffee dominated hop dry finish. OK

Aroma is a bit sweet, lightly burnt and maybe grassy hops. Taste is simila though a bit thin and not much of a finish.
