28/7/2023. Cask at the 33rd Ipswich Beer and Cider Festival. Pours black with a small frothy beige head. Aroma is boozy, woody, toffee, toasted, roasted malt, camp coffee, charcoal, ash, touch of port wine and plastic. Quite sweet with light to moderate roasted bitterness. Medium to full body, slick, soft to flat carbonation. Good, but for me not quite up to previous versions.

Bottle thanks to cgarvieuk. Appearance - dark and opaque with a tan head. Nose - nuts, dried fruit, leather and burnt wood. Taste - raisins, prunes, burnt wood and something a bit like PX. Palate - medium bodied and roasty with a long linger. Overall - lovely, elegant beer.

Cask at Dove Street Inn, Ipswich. Aroma has xreamy sweetness and liqourice. Boozy edge. Dark. Glossy. Foamy if blotchy tan head. Medium-heavy bodied. The Medira is very obvious. Sweet with a booze bite. Over creamy chocolate. Heavy bodied. Creamy. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long slightly astringent finish. The barrel tales the lead but works. Lovely stuff. Would be great post-dinner.
