Cask @ The Pheasant, Wellington. Pours dark with a well-positioned white collar that's not going anywhere. Pleasant light smokiness to this, unsure if intentional, gentle liquorice shades, dried dark fruits.. not bad at all.

Gravity cask at Nottingham festival day two with fonefan, Charlotte & chriso. Hazy to cloudy brown color. Aroma of burnt toast. Taste is toasted brownies. Good stuff.

15th April 2015: cask half-pint in the excellent Cock Hotel, Wellington Shropshire. The pump clip says it is a Stout with added Port: and that is how I saw and tasted it. Dark ruby red hue to the body, a tanned topping stayed for the duration of the half. Malty Stout goodness with the added flavours of Port: it doesn’t come much better than this in cask form. Another winner from a lovely brewer and bloke in general.
