Cask at Crewe Dog, Crewe. Pours very dark reddish-brown with a large foamy cream head and good lacing. Roast malts and toffee are the mainstays in the aroma. In the mouth it is quite sweet with a creamy texture. Fudge and chocolate are the main flavours, along with some toffee and hints of molasses. Surprisingly, some bitterness comes out in the finish. This is very nice and decidedly swiggable – though I suspect a session dirnking this would soon get too much.

Cask @ Salopian, the pub. Dark pour, off-white head. Aroma is sweet with mild toffee and chocolate shades. Continues to taste, light and silky on the palate with just enough chocolate and toffee emerging, not overly sweet thankfully. Decent overall.

Bottle. Beer Central Sheffield. Fridge clear out job. Clear dark red. Messy and super sticky off white foam. Nose has treacle toffee, unsurprisingly. Some woody coffee grinds. Some sweet dried fruit. Taste is a little dry and a little bitter with not too much sweetness happening, which works out well. Light to medium body with fine carbonation. Bitter finish. Decent, albeit like most of this series of brews, it feels a little artificial.
