Calderdale Beer Festival 2019, Halifax. Black in colour with its strength evident and there’s a good maturity to its mildly sweetened taste in this wooden cask version. There’s a mix of sweet, dark and roasted in its nose.

Cask-conditioned at the Swan, York 12/12/2018. Near black in colour with a thin, beige, head. Plain chocolate, some cherry sweetness, touch of liquorice and plenty of toastiness in the finish. A good stout.

Cask @ Crown & Kettle, Manchester. Black with a small off-white head. It's a smooth ale with light vanilla notes, with an obvious strength to the ale behind this.

Cask. North Riding Brew Pub, Scarborough. Clear, very dark brown. Thin, and bubbly, lasting, tan head. Dark chocolate, and coffee malts. Dark cherry tang. Taste is bittersweet. A little dryness. Smooth palate, with a liqueur booziness. Finishes dry, with more of the bittersweet tang. Nice one.
