Bottle from House of Trembling Madness. Clear amber with a brief fizzy head that dissipates quickly. Aroma is very malty with roast, chocolate and nuts. Tastes pretty good to be fair, has a moreish slightly rich malt profile with notes as per aroma, some fruit, and a nice leafy bitterness in the finish. Light body but a nice zingy carbonation. Flawed but fairly tasty.

Cask pint in my local Spoons on 13th December 2024 after watching 'Wicked' in the Orbit, my local cinema. Amber body, off white head. Malty front, thought there might be some Winter spices within, but this is just a basic Bitter, it's fine but not really a Christmas brew in my eyes.

Cask pint at Wetherspoons, London Victoria Station. Cloudy orange-brownish colour, low off-white head. Very moderate aroma, a little malts, a hint of butter. Minimal carbonation, poor condition. Initially dull flavour, quite dry. Some earthy hops in the finish cannot save the beer from falling in the "boring" category. Daleside can do better than this - and JDW should serve their beers in better condition. Could not finish the pint.

Cask at The Gordon Highlander. It pours clear amber with a medium white head. The aroma is malt - drive, white bread, rich tea biscuits, grass, straw, floral, cracker and muffin. The taste is dry, bitter - sweet, white bread, cake, muffin, straw, honeysuckle and some grass with a firmly dry finish. Light - medium body and fine, massaging carbonation. Decent enough golden - bitter. Drinkable enough, if a touch unexciting.
