[Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading.] An opaque peaty brown pour with a tight light tan coloured head, and an attractive ruby red gleam; aroma of red fruit and chocolate; silky soft in the mouth with a red berry taste to start, then some milky chocolate; followed by a smooth fruity finish. An excellent stout.

500ml bottle from, I believe, Hops and Craft, Exeter. Drunk after a ride with Soph around the Stiperstones. Pours a cola brown, not much of a head and what is there doesn't stick around, no lacing. Aroma has hearty dark malt and toffee. Flavour profile has pleasant chocolate malt and soft roast with a gentle chocolate sweetness coursing through, modest roast with a hoppy bitter finish. Medium to light bodied. Simple, light quencher, enjoyed it.
