500ml bottle conditioned: BB Mar 2021. Poured into an Abbot Ale glass tankard at home on 4th Sep 2020. I allowed the sediment to leave the bottle, so my dark brown body had a few floating articles within, the head was an impressive foaming affair in a tanned colour. Slightly harsh body feel, a bit too highly carbonated from the bottle conditioning. Hedgerow fruits in the nose and taste, red and black berry like, prunes and dates too. Liked it.

On cask at Coach and Horses, Dronfield - Dark red-black body, long lasting off-white head. Aroma of Peaty, smoky malt, vanilla and chocolate, almost porter like. Flavour similar but with a refreshing fruity hop finish with some acidity, and very smooth mouthfeel. Enjoyable.
