Cask at Crewe Dog, Crewe. Pours “bitter brown” with a medium sized foamy cream head and excellent lacing. The aroma is basically malty but with hints of nuts and dried fruit too. In the mouth there is a little sweetness at first but very quickly this is cancelled out by creamy bitterness. Flavour has malts and traditional hops back up by caramel and generic fruit. Later it becomes quite spicy and this is emphasised in the finish. This is reasonable – perks up after a slow start.

Cask at Clytha Arms, Llanover - deep clear russet body with no head. Caramel forward with some malty fruit hints. Thin and lifeless.

Cask-conditioned at the V Shed (JDW), Bristol 1/3/2023. Deep brown in colour, with a lacy, off-white, head. Leafy hops, some red berry fruit, a touch of caramel and moderately bitter finish. Fine.
