Cask at Moon under Water, Wolverhampton. Pours dark brown with a medium sized foamy cream head and good lacing. The aroma is not very prominent, but has hints of bitterness and cinnamon. In the mouth there is a fair amount of bitterness but with a little underlying sweetness. Malts and dark fruits to the fore in the flavour with some traditional hops coming through later. Bitterness lasts into the finish. This is quite nice.

Bottle bought at Tasting Barn, nr Wokingham. Aroma is malty, there's caramel, nougat. A hint of berries and eggs. Opaque dark brown. Foamy off-white head. Light-medium bitter. A tangy berry edge. Earthy. Woody. Underlying boiled veg. Medium bodied. Slick but thin. Average carbonation. Long dry astringent. It's fine but overly earthy and woody - it's like I've been out licking things in the garden.
