Half-pint, on cask at Glue Pot, shared with Finn. Patchy pearl white head over a deep and clear dark brownish body. Moderate smell of berry-malts, mid-sweet. Blended taste of caramel malts and dark berries. Ends semi-sweet with distant bitterness. Fair enough. (Swindon 26.10.2019).

Gravity cask at the Newport Ale House. Dark golden brown, clear with a small, small layer of white head. Grainy and slightly vinous smell with some white pepper and a touch of plum. Bittersweet taste, malt-led, a touch of caramel, with plain bittering hop exposed on the finish. Lingering medicinal bitterness. Flat body. Very good for the style.

From cask at Glue Port, Swindon, Wiltshire, on tour to 22 southern counties with OGJ and EE 03.01.19. Served without sparkler. Clear pale copper. Diminishing white head. Aroma of caramel, pale malt and sour berries. Taste of pale malt, caramel and fine hops. Good! An excellent bitter, with lots of taste at only 4,0 % ABV.
