Commercial Description:
Cask; Regular.
"Delicious jellied fruit aromas blend perfectly with inviting roasted notes. The mouthfeel is succulent with dried fruit, malt and delicate hop bitterness. The finish is lingering and warm with fruit and malt notes."

From cask at Charlies. Pours deep orange to amber, clear, and with a diminished creamy and tan head. Light to vague malt aroma. Flavour is mild malt with a light hoppy touch. Light breadish malt note following. Mild acidic touch in the finish together with a light bitterness.

Cask @ YNWA, Kolding.
Pours clear amber with a great, creamy beige head. Super lacing and good duration. Aroma is doughy, rye bread. Low carbonation, fairly fresh. Great fruity flavour, soft hopped. Semi-dry at the end. Should have more hops.

Copper colour with a lasting creamy off-white head. Malt, grains, apple and a hint of grassy hops in the aroma. Malty, caramel sweet flavour, with a little roast dryness. Could use more balancing hops.

Cask at Charlie’s Bar, Copenhagen. An amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel and toffee, while the flavor is sweet with notes both of caramel, toffee, and bisquits, leading to a dry toffee finish.

A Mes rate: Cask at the Lamb and Flag, Oxford during the RB pub crawl.
Bright copper / amber coloured with a thin white head. Happy and malty with LOADS of caramel and a roasty (almost ashtray) note leading to an interesting bitter and biscuit finish. So so.
