31/1/2024. Cask at the 15th Colchester Winter Ale Festival. Pours clear dark mahogany brown with a small bubbly beige head. Aroma is caramel, roasted malt, milk chocolate, vanilla, ash, light liquorice. Moderate to medium sweetness, medium roasted bitterness and body. Oily with average to soft carbonation. Nice one.

[Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading.] An attractive glossy dark tawny coloured pour with a thin beige head; earthy malt aroma; rather thin in the mouth at first, with red fruit and burnt sugar; then a dry smooth finish with raisins and nuts. A satisfying winter pint.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Appearance - dark brown and opaque. Decent head. Nose - light farmyard and dried fruits. Taste - creamy toffee, mostly. Palate - medium bodied, creamy and fairly rich. Then very watery on the finish. Overall - expected more structure considering the style.

Bree Louise. Cask. Clear amber - brown beer, no real head. Palate is smootg with very modest carbonation. Toffee malt, slightly tangy. Good dried fruits, somewhat dark in character. Not bad but could use some condition.
