Half-pint, cask at Prince of Wales. A rustic glint to a off-black body, spotty lacing from a remaining beige head. Slightly roasted malty aromas, hints of dark fruits. Mixed taste profile of caramel and stewed fruits. Lightly roasted malt-fruity finish. Pleasing to a certain degree. (Ledbury 01.02.2020).

Cask handpump at The Prince of Wales, Ledbury Herefordshire, Saturday 31st October 2015. Dark brown in colour with an off-white head. Fruity and nutty with a touch of cocoa powder and a good tingly hoppy bitterness, in good nick and pretty impressive especially considering the low abv. A7 A4 T7 P3 Ov14 3.5
