Half-pint, cask at the Globe. In friendly company with jjsint and Finn. Covering beige head, copper coloured body, scattered lacing. Moderate malt-fruity aromas, mid-sweet. Quite well blended taste of brown malts, toffee, and a backdrop of stewed fruits. Rounded malt-fruity tail. Pretty decent. (Leicester, 25.03.2024).

Handpull cask at the Globe, Leicester with Rune and Finn. Malty aroma, caramel, some cola nut. Jammy taste, good bitterness up to the short finish. Light-ish body with soft carbonation. Not bad.

Cask at Old Bell, Derby. Pours the classic “bitter brown” with minimal off-white head but good lacing. There’s some malts in the aroma, but not much else. In the mouth, the main flavours are caramel, toffee and malts with some autumn fruits coming through later. Finish is quite fruity. Reasonable but nothing special.
