Bottle from Beers of Europe. Appearance - deep brown to black with red chinks. Decent head. Nose - treacle, nuts, raisins and just a hint of liquorice. Taste - treacle again. Raisins and prunes. Palate - rich and full bodied. Mouth coating sweetness. Not refreshing at all but that's not the style. Overall - good stuff.

Cask at PoW, Farnborough. Sweet carame and fruits aroma. Treacle brown. No head. Sweet. Syrupy. Sugary. Thick bodied. Slick. Flat carbonation. Abrupt finish. Not normally keen on sweet beers, but that's more in terms of artificial tastes. This is more of a warming caramel sauce. Good stuff.

Something has probably turned really wrong here. Infected I suppose. Lots of butter and vinegar. As you surely understand, not meant for human consumption.

Draught at Fat Cat in Norwich, shared with friends. Dark brown body. Dissipating beige head. Dark fruity nose with hints of vinegar. Toffee and dark jam-like flavours partially overrun by vinegar. Gone? (18.02.2017).

Cask @ Fat Cat, Norwich. Hazy dark brown with an off-white head. Aroma is sweet, malty, caramel, dark fruit, heavy buttery and light balsamico. Flavor is quite sweet and light sour. Sweet and light sour finish. Really nasty and clearly not what the brewer intended. 180217
