Bottle from Co-op, Chobham. Aroma is fruity, berries. A vinous edge. Opaque brown. Thin frothy white head. The flava replicates the aroma... berries. Even vma vinous element. Light. Thin. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Much more interesting than I was expecting.

Cask at Moon Under Water, Wolverhampton. Pours “bitter brown” with a medium sized off-white head and good lacing. The aroma has malts and cream. Malts again to the fore in the mouth, along with autumn fruits and hints of nuts and ginger. A little lemongrass and citrus as well. This is OK, but somewhat bland.
