Cask-conditioned, on gravity, at Leicester Beer festival, 11/3/2017. Dark brown in colour, with a thin, beige, head. Leafy hop, toasted malts and milk chocolate aroma. Flavour more chocolate, some brown sugar sweetness and a hint of liquorice before a dryish finish. Enjoyable.

Cask at the Nags Head, Reading. An opaque, deepest mahogany colour with a ring of cream head; aroma of brown sugar; sweet fruity taste; and a dry finish with well roasted malts and lingering toast. Eclipsed by the Eight Arch Quarterjack porter that preceded it.
