hughie (2252), Bedford, Bedfordshire, England Sep 2, 2006 Cask at Wellington Arms, Bedford. Dark amber with a small head. Malty and honeyed aroma and taste. Slightly oily mouthfeel. Medium bitterness. Not bad. harrisoni (5331), Ashford, Kent, England Mar 13, 2006 Cask handpull at Wenlock. Copper, thin white head. Malty session bitter with good drying hop. Some yeast on aroma which runs through the beer. Hop is very assertive and possibly a touch too much. Dry finish is very dessicating. Nothing wrong with it, unless the hop is just a bit too much. I rather blow hot and cold on this breweries beers. DeepBlack (387), Derby, Derbyshire, England Oct 19, 2004 Served in The Alex Derby on draught & with a sparkler.
Mid/Dark Brown colour, nice head all the way down, Malty, dryish & very More-ish.
One of the best beers I’ve had for a while.
Nice smell too Spiesy (2331), Global Citizen, Greater London, England Dec 1, 2003 Cask Conditioned, at the Wenlock Arms, London. Dark, clear amber coloured ale, little or no head. Lovely, hoppy aromas. Big chocolate flavour that takes you by surprise. The chocolate fads into al ong smooth palate, that very more’ish. You end up quaffing this beer as you keep searching for the chocolate hit at the start. Yes, I did enjoy this ale.
