6/3/2024. Cask at The Dove Street Inn, Ipswich. Pours black with a small creamy/frothy light tan coloured head. Good looking beer. Nice roasted malty, chocolate, caramel aroma with a light coffee ashy edge. Moderate sweetness, medium bitterness. Decent body for its modest abv. Quite smooth, soft carbonation. Well done.

Cask at Bull & Stirrup, Chester. Pours almost black with a msall foamy beige head and good lacing. There’s fudge, toffee and treacle in the aroma here. In the mouth, it initially has bitter coffee ground and roast malts, but after a while dark fruits emerge. The general effect sways from bitter to sweet, then back to bitter again. Molasses and hints of chocolate as well, leading to a dry finish. This is excellent – packs a whole punch of flavour for it’s strength.

Cask @Luppolo Station (Rome). Bruna intensa/nera, schiuma color cappuccino media. Al naso malti tostati, caffè, nocciola, cacao in polvere. In bocca è equilibrata, con discreto spunto amaro e acidità da tostato. Corpo leggero. Buona.

Cask, Crown Inn, Coldingham. Tasted in 2003. Rating from notes. Creamy at first, than a roasty bitterness comes up that lingers on and on. Apple and a fair deal of fishy saltiness
