Robin Goodfellow is a shrewd and knavish sprite, the merry wanderer of the night. This full bodied ale is rich with dark fruit flavours and a mischievously smooth yet hoppy finish that belies its strength.

Cask @ Coalheavers Arms, Peterborough. Very dark old ale, malty, with a bit of its strength evident in taste, although not really sticky or sweet.

Cask at GBBF. It pours hazy dark brown with a small beige head. The aroma is earthy, wood, leather, toasted brown bread, toasted nut and umami. The taste is bitter - sweet, toffee, oily, brown bread, toasted nut, earthy roast, umami, spice and treacle with a drying, yet sweet finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Ok, but a bit muddled.

Cask @ St Ives Booze on the Ouse festival. Nice head with good duration. Color is close to black. Aroma and taste are roast malt, chocolate, little coffee, hops and has a nice sweet light bitter finish. Should be set as a stout and not as ESB.
