From wooden cask, third shared with Finn at Manchester Beer & Cider Festival, Wood Bar. Almost black in the glass, bubbles on the surface, scattered lacing. Mild smell of roasted malts. Malt-driven taste with earth and dark chocolate, discreet touch of rum. Roasted endnotes. Satisfying. (2nd day of the festival, 23.01.2020).

Aroma and flavour have dark roasted, bitter malts and the sweetness of rum too. Quite rich and full bodied.

Cask-conditioned at the Gryphon, Bristol March 2015. Near black in colour, with a decent, off-white, head. Toasty malts, sweet dark fruits and brown sugar, some plain chocolate and moderately dry finish. Enjoyable.
