23/8/2023. Cask at the 44th Peterborough Beer Festival. Pours clear dark red amber with a small off-white head. Aroma of milk chocolate, malt, caramel, nut, light roasting. Medium sweetness, moderate bitterness. Medium body, slightly oily, soft carbonation. Quite okay.

Handpull cask at the Blue Boar, Leicester. Ruby brown and translucent with a small and loose beige head. Muted aroma of sweet malts, cherries. Taste is sweet, incredibly malt-driven, some stone a citrus fruit, leading to more hop bitterness in the balanced finish. Oily body with no carbonation. It's okay, I love a strong mild but this one is slightly on the dull side.
