Cask at the Craven Arms, Birmingham. Poured a clear dark brown colour with a lasting frothy, light tan head. The aroma is red berry fruits, light roasty malt. The flavour is moderate to light sweet, light sour, with a smooth, rich, tart raspberry, light sweet vanilla palate. Over medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Handpull cask at the Kings Head, Leicester. Dark brown and translucent with a small layer of khaki head. Light aroma, some blackberry, chocate, liquorice. Taste is... oh my word. A hoppy blackberry with a gorgeous little liquorice note in the background. So much depth to the flavour. Medium to long finish. Oily body with no carbonation. This is exceptional.

Cask at Bird In Hand, Stafford. Pours a very dark reddish-brown with a small beige head and good lacing. Malts, treacle and dark fruits combine to give a heady aroma. Smooth and creamy in the mouth, with dark fruits, malts, plums and a trace of chocolate. Finish is cruity. This is very nice indeed, but lacks the quintessential stout characteristic.
