Cask at the Old Ticket Office, Cambridge on 21st March 2022. Amber with off-white foam and full lacing. Malty aroma with leafy hoppiness. Rich, nutty maltiness in-mouth and a velvety finish of luxury malt and tangy fruits. Smooth mouthfeel and plenty of body.

Cask, half pint, shared with Finn at St. Andrews Brewhouse. Off-white head to a clear copper coloured body, upper part lacing. Smell of grainy fruits, mid-dry. Moments of buttery caramel to the taste buds joined by a bite of biscuit. Bittersweet malt-fruity finish. Fair enough. (Norwich 11.11.2021).

Bottle from Beers Of Europe. Appearance - amber with a big off white head. Nose - malty/meaty/mushroomy. Earthy too. Light ginger biscuit thing. Taste - ginger biscuit. Still earthy. Palate - medium bodied. Creamy but crunchy texture. Dry finish. Overall - ok, if a bit challenging. Nose a bit weird.

Bottle. Amber coloured beer with a reasonable head. The aroma is lightly toffee, and the flavour is lightly toffee with a good degree of bitterness. Overall a good bitter.
