Mar 27, 2008 A Mes rate: Cask at Baker Street ’Sporks.
Mid amber brown with no head. Big fruity malt and marzipan with some slight sourness and bacon fat. I can’t help but feel this should be pretty decent but the standards at this particular JDW are so low the beer struggles to be on its best behaviour.

Mar 16, 2008 (Cask at Oliver Twist, Stockholm) Chestnut colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, nutty, roasted nose with dark fruit, prunes, plums and dusty, earthy hops. Malty, roasted taste with notes of nuts, chocolate, coffee and lots of dusty hops in the finish. Medium body, mainly dry. Nice and very drinkable ale.

Feb 11, 2008 Cask handpull, Pommeler’s Rest, JDW, London. Chestnut colour with thin beige head. Some rather nice fruit and malts with a sour edge. Lovely old style ale. Good roasty dry malts and then this sour finish is excellent.
