Gravity cask at the Bree Louise. Pours a dark, ruby-brown with a faint film head. Fruity nose with some burnt malts and dark sugar. Pleasant flavor, lightly sweet, , with maple, grape, and mild toast notes. Light to medium in body with soft carbonation. The finish is more lightly burned malts, berries and grapes, along with some mild earthy, herbal hops. Nice beer overall.

Cask at Charlie’s Bar, Copenhagen. A deep red beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has notes of malt and fruit, as well as hints of roasted malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of caramel, nuts, and butterscotch as well as light notes of coriander, leading to a dry spicy finish.

Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading. Tar coloured with a ring of cream head; herbal aroma with a definite touch of coriander; silky and dry in the mouth with metallic vegetable flavours - spinach and possibly coriander as well; the finish is sweet with some milky chocolate.

Cask @ Bon Accord. Dark red-brown colour, tan head. Aroma of toasted malts and coriander. Flavour of roasted malts, coriander, possibly anis, some other herbs. Bitter finish. Doesn’t do it for me.

Cask at GBBF08. Weak vinous aroma. Clear very dark brown colour. The flavour is slightly vinous and spicy as from certain berries or herbs.
