One-third pint. Deep black body, tiny beige head, upper part lacing on the glass. Creamy malts on the nose. Chocolate malty flavoured, hints of dried fruits. Smoothly roasted malt-fruity finish. Creamy mouthfeel. Satisfying. (Liverpool, 13,02.2025).

Cask at The Wellington. Dark brown with small white top. Notes of liquorice, blackcurrant, dark malts, rum, vanilla and slight woodiness. A slightly cloying mouthfeel. It half works.

Cask at Swan & Railway, Wigan. Pours a considerably dark reddish-brown with a medium sized cream head and good lacing. The mainstay of the aroma is vanilla – plus some hints of alcohol. In the mouth it has roast malts, dark fruits, chocolate and rum. After a while the alcoholic strength becomes evident, along with liquorice. Finish is slightly boozy. This is really nice.
