Cask at Moon under Water, Wolverhampton. Pours dark ruby with a small off-white head and good lacing. Not much of an aroma – just hints of malts and autumn fruits. In the mouth it is fairly sweet and quite juicy with prominent flavours of dark fruits and apples and a trace of malts. Later on there are hints of toffee and butterscotch. Finish is quite fruity. This is reasonable enough.
gave a cheers!

Sample thanks to Grumbo: Poured a dark brown almost black with orangish edges, head was beige. Aroma is fruit cake, dark fruits, citrus, figs, malts. Taste is rich malts, dark fruits, figs, molasses, light citrus.
gave a cheers!

[Cask at the Alehouse, Reading.] A chestnut pour with a ring of white head; malty aroma; earthy malt body; and a dry finish with caramel and nuts. A nicely heavy winter pint.
gave a cheers!

20/12/2021. Bottle from Hoppily, Chelmsford. Christmas countdown beer 6. Pours clear mid-dark ruby brown with a small short lasting off-white head quickly settling very uninspiring on the eye. Aroma of malt, toffee, liquorice, molasses, citrus, dried fruit, touch of spice. Moderate sweetness, light roasted bitterness touch of sour. Moderate body, oily watery texture, soft carbonation. Metallic finish. Aroma was ok but otherwise very disappointing.
