Cask at the gin winter ale festival. Hazed dark brown caramel pour with a lasting loose cream head. Aroma is earthy nutty roast. Some mushroom. Flavour is sweet grainy light granny smith apple. Light spices. Finish has light roast and some astingwncy. Some hot alcohols. A bit of a weird veg quality to it.

Cask @ Manchester Beer & Cider Festival Jan 2013. This was my last beer of the festival before being pulled out by my girlfriend so my memory is patchy to say the least. Roasted grainy malts with a medium body, interspersed with cocoa and coffee elements. A dark fruit sweetness comes through in parts.. on the whole not bad.

Cask Manchester beer festival. Nose does have a little parsnip, sherbert, slight malt. There is a malty earthy tones with a sweet finish that one assumes is from the parsnip. It’s a very ordinary beer, which gives little hint of it’s unusual ingredients. Wild Beer are in danger of becoming nothing more than a novelty brewer, and are increasingly very inconsistent.

Cask at Lyric, Soho. It pours darkest brown with a small beige head. The nose is roasty, toast, earth, smoke and some underlying sweetness. The taste is roasted malt, very earthy, dirt, toast, umami aspect, cocoa, chewy malt, light sweetness and some liquorice perhaps with a dry finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Another oddball concoction from these guys that somehow works. Interesting and enjoyable.

Cask-conditioned at the Small Bar, Bristol 22/12/2013. Near black with a thin, off-white head. dark chocolate and coffee aroma, with a touch of leafy hop. Flavour had a lot more chocolate, dark fruits and a roasty finish. Apparently has parsnips and acorns in it, but I didn’t detect them. Very good.
