3/8/2019. Bottle at the Wrocław Grand Prix bottle share, from Beers of Europe. Pours clear very dark amber with an average size off-white head. Aroma of light roasted malt, milk chocolate, caramel, fruit and lactose. Medium sweetness, moderate bitterness. Light o moderate body, slight oily and watery texture, soft carbonation. Light aniseed to finish. Not bad especially considering it's abv.

Cask at PoW, Farnborough. Not getting aroma. Appearance of flat cola and just as much head. Sweet. Malty. Some whispers of bitterness. Sugar, chocolate, nuts. Not as watery as it looks. It’s still light bodied but has a silliness and soft carbonation. Abrupt finish. Slips down easy but all a bit of an understatement.
