Cask at the Plasterers Arms, Norwich, 16/02/17. Mahogany brown with a beige head. Nose is fruit esters, cocoa beans, toffee, biscuit, light malt notes. Taste comprises toffee, tangy fruit rinds, spice, biscuit, toffee. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close with light herbal elements. Ok for style.

Gravity cask at the Cambridge Winter Ales Festival 2017. Brown and translucent with a bit of beige head. Hot fudge sauce aroma with a note of liquorice. Sweet taste as the chocolate and the lime come together (albeit not particularly well). Sourish notes follow with a liquorice hint. Flat thin body with artificial fudge flavouring in the aftertaste. Some mint. What the fuck did I just drink? A rare misstep from an amazing outfit. Just doesn’t do it for me at all.
