Cask at the Wellington Arms, Bedford. Dark brown, barely translucent. About 3mm of off-white head. Muted aroma of chocolate malt, wet cedar, earth, hints of plum and smoke. Initial robust sweetness in the taste holds sway until the chalky and intensely sour-bitter finish. Lingering bitter aftertaste. Light mouthfeel. Very decent.

Cask at the 7 Stars, Rugby, 12/03/14. Extremely dark mahogony brown with a good sized tan head. Nose is light roast, toffee, dark fruits, hint of cardboard, light trace of aniseed. Taste comprises liquorice, light roastings, dark malt, toffee, pinch of spice. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, drying close. Ok.
