Pint of cask at the Bishop's Finger in Smithfield. It looked gorgeous in the glass with a good head that lasted to the end. The taste was all about the roasted and toasted malts that were perfectly balanced by the bitter hops. This is a true "English black IPA" and I really got what the brewery has done with this. The mouthfeel was rich because of all the malt, but nicely cut with those bitter hops. It helped that this was in perfect condition, but this is one of the best beers I have had in a pub for a very long time. A perfect start before meeting friends in the Italian wine bar next door to drink vast quantities of red wine.

Cask gravity at White Cliffs Beer Festival 2016. Black beer deep ruby lasting beige head. Malty beer not too roasty. Some good dark fruits. I rather liked it if a little one dimensional. Jammy fruit

Cask. Deep reddish black colour with a creamy small head. Aroma is liquorice, mild toasted notes as well as some slight floral and ripe fruity notes. Flavour is ripe fruits, mild spiciness, some liquorice as well as quite big on the hoppy (bitter) side.

Cask (Nottingham Beer Festival 2014) - Dark brown with red tinges. Liquorice, berries and hops in the aroma. Moderately hoppy taste with notes of liquorice, blackberries and soapy hops.
