8/2/2020. From cask at the Great British Winter Beer Festival, Birmingham. Pours clear dark brown with a small off-white head. Aroma of whiskey, wood, chocolate, roasted malt, toffee and dark fruit. Medium sweetness and light to moderate bitterness. Medium body, slight creamy texture, soft carbonation. Very nice. Best I had at the festival.

On tap at the Swan, Bishopthorpe Road, York October 2019. Dark brown in colour, with a thin, off-white, head. A warming beer, with leafy hops, ripe red berries, brown sugar and a hint of spice. The malts were sweetish and slightly toasty and the finish had a whisky kick. Enjoyable.
