Pint at the Royal Hop pole, JDW Twekesbury. Dark brown cloud with an off white creamy head. Aroma has coffee, and roasted malt, with a fruitiness. Taste is slightly sweet. Thin body.

Cask at The Penny Black, Bicester, Oxon in company of Loz, Mum and Keith, Saturday 31st January 2015 Brown in colour, looks good and is in good nick, very slight haze. Fruity but nothing distinct, some hops but lacks hoppy bite (American hops, really? they were used very sparingly then) also I fail to pick up the Belgian yeast, I certainly don’t note a spicy edge. Its ok. A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov11 3.0

Cask at the Merchants Inn, Rugby, 06/03/13. Clip states 4.5% ABV. Dark chestnut brown with a thin off white head. Nose is all over the place - lactic tones, vomit, dark malt, soap. Taste improves immeasurably when contrasted - dark malt, treacle toffee, biscuit. Medium bodied, soft carbonation. Average beer but knocked down by a particularly foul smelling nose!
