Cask, half pint at the pub Swan in Bloomsbury. Spotty lacing from a white diminishing head. Bright mahogany coloured body. Mid-sweet black malty aroma added by a spicy touch. Mixed taste of caramel, liquorice and red orange. Malt bitter endnotes. Easy to drink without being watered. Satisfying. Enjoyed after having seen the great exhibition on Magna Carta (until first of September) at the British Library (London 11.07.2015).

Cask at Ealing Beer Festival 2015, Ealing, London. A ruby red coloured pour with a medium off white head on top. Fruity, malty, spice aroma. Tastes similar, fruity, malty, spice. Stronger bottled version much better IMO.

Cask at the brewery, 14/05/15. Rich chestnut brown with a decent beige covering. Nose is dark fruit, light spice, biscuit, nutmeg, sultanas. Taste comprises fruit loaf, light spice, trace of ginger, toffee, herbal notes. Lighter end of medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close. Ok but a little wishy washy and lacking direction.
