Third by cask, second day of GBBF Winter 20, Astbury Bar. Shared with Finn. Jet black body under beige bubbles, clingy lacing. Chocolate malts on the nose, roasted. Chocolate malts up front to the taste buds added by moments of liquorice and a distant backdrop of dark fruits. Rounded mouth feel. Pretty good. (Birmingham 05.02.2020).

Cask at the St. Albans Beer & Cider Festival 2017. Pours black with a small off-white head. Aroma of heavy chocolate and coffee, malt, liquorice and dark fruits. Moderate sweetness and quite heavy dark chocolate bitterness. Full body, slick texture, soft carbonation. Roasted bitterness to finish. Very good – our beer of this festival.
