Cask at CBC Clerko, 23/02/17. Black with a decent tan head. Nose is light spice, chocolate, smoked malts, fruit rinds. Taste comprises tarte fruit rinds, cocoa powder, toffee, lactic tang, earthy, spice. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, drying close. A little overly sharp and tangy for me.

Cask @ Stick Or Twist, Leeds. Extremely dark, but not quite black. Has a frothy off-white head. Has a mixture of spice and dense winter fruits, with the latter dominant. There’s plenty of dark malts here too. A decent Xmas ale.

Bottle. Trembling Madness Drinks Shop, York. Clear, very deep red. Film of clingy, tan head. Fruity, tangy, smoked malts. Smoke comes across ashy, and lightly savoury. Some grassy hop on top, to boot. Taste is smoky, lactic sweet. Gets fruity bitter. There are plenty of hops in this. Light body, without being thin. Tangy bitter finish. Tasty gear.
