Cask at Lych Gate, Wolverhampton Pours a dark reddish brown with a small tan head and good lacing. Vanilla and roasted malts in the nose. Gentle carbonation in the mouth, bringing dark fruits to the fore, with hints of toffee and malts. Finish is bitter and fruity. Rather nice.

Bottle from a stall at St Dogmaels Local Producer's Market, Pembrokeshire. Dark brown-black with a beige head and a gentle fizz. Fruity, with freshly creosoted wood, chocolate, leather and a mild roastiness. Decent.

500ml bottle: BB Sep 19. Drank at home on 23rd May 19. Ruby red body, tanned foam on top. Roasted malty nose and initial taste, some spiciness and semi-sweet malty molasses arrive flavour wise. Nice.

Half pint, cask ale at Hopbunker. Shared with Finn. Spotty lacing, filmy off-white head, deep dark brown coloured content. Aromas of brown malts, lightly spiced. Blended flavour character of caramel malts, some dark spices and bread. Roasted ending. Satisfying. (Cardiff 03.10.2018).

Fra cask på Hopbunker, Cardiff. Delt med Rune. Dyprød. Lavt mokkafarget skum. Spotlacing. Forsiktig aroma av røstet malt. Smaken litt kanel. Tørr ettersmak.
