Half-pint, cask ale at Potters Wheel (JDW). Shared with Finn. Filmy layer, clear mahogany coloured body, spotty lacing. Modest aroma of grainy malts and toffee. Malt driven taste, hints of caramel, earth and nuts alongside a backdrop of dark fruits. Rounded mouthfeel. Fair enough. (Swansea 04.10.2018).

Cask-conditioned at the Penny, Bristol 29/4/2016. Deep amber, with a decent, off-white, head. Crisp, slightly bready, malts, some hedgerow fruits, leafy hops and a dryish finish. Good.
