Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

Cask at the John Logie Baird (JDW), Hastings. Dark amber with a ring of white head; malty aroma; caramel malt flavour with some sour fruit; and a biscuity finish. Nothing special about this.
Cask conditioned at a Wetherspoons. Copper to brown with no head. Quite flat and lifeless on the palate, very cold, slightly tart, fruity and surprisingly thin. Not good.
Cask at the Sir Michael Balcon (JDW), Ealing. Brown with very little head. Initially sweet palate with a touch of currant, but then woody and a bit tart.
