Manchester Beer Festival. Black but has a glow about it with an off-white head. Has a strange fusion of hops and roasted malts with a high bitterness finish.

Cask at NWAF 2012. Very dark, almost black, with an off-white to beige head. Hoppy aroma with some roasted notes, licorice, dark fruits and a hint of citrus and alcohol. Finishes quite dry. Decent BIPA.

Cask-conditioned at the Cheshire Beeriodical, Seven Stars, Bristol October 2012. Near black with a slight, off-white head. Aroma of pine, berry fruits, chocolate and caramel. Flavour had some fruit cake, citrus and chocolate, with a lingering dry finish. Very good.

Half pint, very good amount, hand-pulled cask at Chorlton Beer Fest. Good looking with a deep rosewood coloured body topped by a lasting, fawn-coloured head. Aroma of chocolate malt and dark fruits. Taste of dark fruits and mid-sweet dark malts added by a little roastiness. Rounded bitter aftertaste. Pleasant, my best at the beer festival in Chorlton, 06.07.2012.
