Cask at Great Western, Wolverhampton. Pours a golden brown with a small off-white head. Nose is fruity with added malts. In the mouth the texture is creamy, with sweet malts and alcoholic strength in evidence, Spices and raisins lie beneath. Finish is sweet and dry. A bit of an acquired taste, but this is quite nice.

Cask; hand-pulled pint on 17th Nov 2018. Codsall Railway Buildings, 5.6% ABV this year. Deep amber, off-white crust on top. Fruity, malty and full bodied, good winter warmer.

Cask at Bulls Head, Sedgley, 31/05/17. Nil aroma. A decent but blotchy white head. Tangy. Sweet and juicy, with a bitter edge. Medium bodied. Slick. Limited carbonation. Middling finish. Really enjoyed this. A good balance of taste and palate. Went down very easily.
