JDW, Eastbourne. Soft, frothy head. Autumnal. Damp leaves. A typical Autumn Ale - a splash of crystal malt. Slightly stale tasting. Not great.

Cask at The Pilgrim’s Progress (JDW), Bedford. Orange-amber, slightly hazy. Small white head. Served chilled. Negligible aroma. Quite a nice, rich, fruity taste with early bitterness.

Bottle. Deep chestnut, good off white head and gentle condition. Low spicy malt and peppery hop in the nose, gentle earthy hop bitterness in the mouth with some chocolate and a fruity tartness also noticable, low bitter hoppiness in the finish becoming quite dry.

Knickersby ’Spoons. Ruby pint with well-retained cream froth. Aroma is sourish and vinous with plenty of buttery vanilla. Flavour is more of the same with smooth berryish fruit, caramel, and red wine creaminess. Unusually well-conditioned and tasty back-to-back with 4 pints of Church. Enjoyed it.

(Cask at Eagle, Hoxton, London, 28 Nov 2007) Dark ruby colour with frothy, off-white head. Fruity, slightly sourish nose with notes of cowberries and spices. Fruity, spicy taste with cowberries, raspberries and caramel. A bit strange.

Nov 07 Cask conditinoed @ Humble Plumb. Sweet caramel, heavy syrupy body. Poor. 2.3
Oct 06Cask conditioned @ Standing ORder (JDW), Soton. Nicely malty without being sweet or over the top. Robust bitterness which feels remniscent of autumn walks through woods surrounded by fallen leaves. Not much else to it but quite drinkable. 3.3

ugh this tasted like a bad combination of swimming pool water and off camembert rind - undrinkable. i took it back and complained to the barman who took great offence and kept muttering we’ve had it for two years, never had a problem bla bla bla. so i can only assume it’s a bloody awful beer with industrial-grade bleach in the recipe.
