Cask at Lych Gate, Wolverhampton. Pours a dark reddish-brown with a small cream head. There’s malts and berry fruits in the aroma. In the mouth it is quite strongly sweet with malts and blueberries to the fore. Smooth a creamy with texture of wine gums plus some hints of spice later. Sweetness lasts into the finish. This is decent but a bit too fruity for it’s own good !

Cask at the Pup and Duckling, Solihull. Poured a a dark reddish brown colour with a lasting frothy off-white head. The aroma is malt and blueberries. The flavour is moderate sweet, with a smooth, rich, malt, juicy blueberry, light sweet vanilla palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Tasty, but might get a little sickly after a couple of pints.

Final cask pint before the pub shutdown @ Tap and Can. Pours a deep dark ruby with a well-appointed creamy off-white collar. Aroma suggests a blueberry sweetness to come, and lo and behold it delivers with a lovely smooth, well-integrated blueberry presence, great condition and an excellent unimposing sweetness running throughout. Lovely stuff.

Half-pint, cask at Wellington. Shared with Finn. Beige bubbles at the top of a clear dark brown body. Clingy lacing. Promising smell of berry skins and dark malts. Blueberries up front to the taste buds, hints of liquorice. Mid-sweet malt-berry finish. Quite alright. (Birmingham 03.02.2020).

Cask-conditioned at the Cornubia, Bristol 18/1/2019. Deep brown in colour, with a slight, off-white, head. Sweet and toasty malts, a hint of chocolate, ripe dark fruits and a gentle finish. Fine.
