On tap keg at the Tip Inn, Loscoe, in the company of Dad and Pauline, Sunday 8th June 2025. Pours black with a beige head, this is bang on for a milk stout, okay it's not a preferred style of mine but it's a good example. Sweet, a little lactose light, very light roast, decent.

Cask at Smithfield, Derby Pours completely black with a small tan head. Aroma is vaguely butty, but in the mouth fruits predominate. Blackberries to the fore, but also plums and a hint of vanilla. Finish is fruity. Nice, but not wildly exciting.
