Jul 5, 2009 A Mes rate. Cask handpull from Baker Street ’Sporks.
Ruby / copper body with a good off white head and plenty of lace. Fruity and chunky all round. Good liquorice and plum notes. Lovely malt and faint licks of malt. Obvious Belgian yeasty character. Drinks light a lighter Gouden Carolus Classic. And for that I like it a lot. A little more complex than most you find at a JDW. Pretty decent all rounder. Nice one. Hang about... GREENE KING??? What the FUNK??? Honestly I liked it.
