Cask-conditioned at the King of Wessex (JDW), Bath 7/05/09. Deep copper with a decent white head. Sweet aroma of red fruits and chocolate malts. Flavour was a bit syrupy to start, before some bitter chocolate and a decent bitter finish came to the rescue. Good stuff.

Half from cask at The Wheatsheaf in Stoke. Nitro creamy, off-white head with good laceworks. Dark amber with a slight head. Aroma of bitter fruits and sweet malts. Grapefruit shells in flavour ending up with a nice dry bitter finish. Good version of the style (Wetherspoon real ale festival, 02.05.2009).

[Gravity cask at Back of Beyond, Reading] Amber-brown. Ooh... now this is surprising. I was expecting an average bitter, what I got was a bitter masquerading as a stout! Coffee and digestive biscuits dominate with hints of fruit and tobacco and some dry roasty malt in the finish. Very smooth & drinkable. Good stuff!
