Chelmsford Winter Beer Festival. KEGS. Cask. Almost opaque dark brown beer, no head. Palate is smooth with decent fine carbonation. The malts are rich and lead to a little spice. Good vibrant dark fruits with ripe plummy cherry fruits on top. Touch of brett. Light crispy finish. Good stuff, flavoursome and drinkable.

The Compasses, Gt Totham. Cask. The Compasses have been the sole stockists of this beast and their drop test show the beer has run on to an estimated 13.2%! It’s smooth with very little carbonation. Sherry and Port tones are to the fore and the cherry character appears to have got stronger as well. Ripe fruits in the background. Interesting stuff!
