Cask at Queens Larder, Bloomsbury 15 Nov 08. Dark brown colored. A small fluffy head. Aroma of nuts amd malt. Flavor is fruity with plums and raisins. Sweet – but a dry fruity bitterness emerging.

Tobacco brown with a saliva like head that clings to the glass disturbingly. Sweet aroma, very sweet with hints of tropical fruit. Very fruity in the mouth - oranges and papaya - but quite vinegary. Watery thin.

Cask conditioned - handpump - Turf Tavern Oxford. An amber coloured beer with an off white head. The aroma is fairly thin but there are some fruity malts. The taste has some malty warmth and some caramel. An uninteresting fruitiness and an underdeveloped finish make the experience unremarkable.

Cask conditioned at a Wetherspoons. Red to brown with white head. A pretty beer, bright with a malty aroma. Gadzooks no hint of the GK Tea hop, this is a fruity, malty, slightly sweet beer, ripe plums comes to mind. Thinnish, but quite drinkable, an enjoyable beer.

Cask, Aikmans Cellar Bar, St Andrews. Dark brown ruby with a thin offwhite head. Hoppy lemony nose with some sweet maltiness and some sweet sugar, possibly even glace cherry. Mouth is watery and soapy with lots of suds, some malt sweetness, but some lemony washing up liquid dusty suds seem to dominate. Clinical finish. Alright, but not something to sing about.

Cask. handpump at the Crown Charlton-on-Otmoor, 10-11-06. Poured dark brown with a head that didn’t hang about for too long, malty beer with some sweetness and a nice touch of fruitiness. Better than many of theirs but not one that I would particularly like a night on.

Draught@old bank in Turku. Dark brown in colour. Minor white head. The aroma is fruity with hints of juniper berries. The flavour is damp and bitter. There is a distinct taste of brown sugar. It has a dry aftertaste.

Casked. Amber colour, mediumsized head. Aroma bitterish hoppy with fruity hints. Flavour is fruity, hoppy and of fresh wood (newly cut wood). Wellbalanced and smooth, but quite one-dimensional and standard bitter...
