Cask at Soloman Cutler, Birmingham. Pours black with smooth beige top, great lacing. Ash and coffee notes with a slight yeast tang, berries, caramel. Smooth, semi drying. It grew on me.

Cask @ Barum Top Inn, Halifax. Black with an extremely thin head. Quite strong and robust with its dark malt character, but its fruit manages to make its mark here and the fusion is flavoursome.

[Cask at the Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell.] A glossy black pour with a tight brown head; strong American hop aroma; taste of berries and chocolate; with an earthy finish with traces of resinous hops. Satisfying.

Cask-conditioned at the V Shed (JDW), Bristol March 2023. Jet black in colour with a frothy, beige, head. Leafy hops, blueberries, some chocolate and jammy sweetness, before a gently bitter finish. Enjoyable.

Cask at the Hope Tap, Reading. Brown-black with a brown head. Strong floral notes on the aroma with a light tropical hint. Taste is quite different - chocolate cake, blackcurrant, lemon and roasted malts. A restrained bitterness.and light dryness is well judged to offset some cream. Very good - a contender for best of the fest?

Cask at Babington Arms, Derby. Pours a very dark reddish-brown with a small cream head. Some floral hops and hints of citrus in the aroma – but they are restrained. In the mouth it is smooth with a creamy texture. Flavour has roast malts, chocolate and floral hops plus traces of lemon. Some liquorice and hints of fruitcake later on as well. Finish is somewhat bitter. I don’t normally go for Oakham beers (too much citrus(), but this is rather nice.

Cask at the moon under water Watford Jdw. A dark mahogany brown coloured pour with a lasting light tan head. Aroma is subdued, nutty malts, pine, light waxy. Flavour is composed of semi sweet nutty malts, pine needle, sap, sticky hop,. Palate is semi sweet, rounded decent cask condition. No wow.
