Cask at The Bow Bar. Pours dark chestnut brown, decent off-white head. Light toffee aromas, some light fruity notes. Taste has more of the same. Decent, if a little thin.

On tap at the Bow Bar winter festival. Appearance - black but not opaque. Some brown edges. Nose - a bit reclusive at first but eventually notes of chocolate and biscuits come through. Taste - more of the same. The flavours become more pronounced as you go down the glass Palate - medium bodied with a creamy texture and a dry malty and pleasant finish. Overall - slightly confused as to what separates this from a bitter.

Cask at the Edgar Wallace. Pours a clear, copper-ruby with a foamy, off-white head. Great aroma, nice pine and citrus, some straw. Nothing like an old ale...Pretty well balanced flavor. Has some bread, faint fruits, mild grass, light sugar. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Lightly bitter finish, faint plastic, some wood and earth, mild citrus hops. Like a bitter, not an old ale. Can’t help but think this beer was mislabled.
