Handpull cask at the Queens Road Tap, Leicester. Mid- to dark mahogany, opaque with a small beige head. Liquorice, earth, smoke in the aroma. Sweet taste with notes of Marmite, salt liquorice, molasses. Finish is far more bitter with intense English Hop nestling on the back of the tongue. Medium body with soft carbonation. Lymestone is one of the most inconsistent breweries out there, butvthey occasionally cone out with a gem like this.

Cask at Picture House, Stafford – served too cold so may require a rerate Nose has dark fruits – probably blueberries. Pours a very dark ruby red. In the mouth fruityness predominates with plums noticeable. But there is also bready malts and hints of coffee and caramel. Finish is blackberries with a bit of malt. Watery and not as nice as I remember it being.

Fra cask på The Waterhouse JDW, Manchester. Veldig mørkebrun. Lavt tett skum med litt farge. Tynn teppelacing. Aroma av nøtter & sjokolade. Silkemyk munnfølelse. Smaken tørket frukt & kjeks. Tørr bitter avslutning. Godt øl!

Cask at Three Judges. It pours clear darkest brown with a thick tan head. The aroma is toasted brown bread, coffee grounds, cacao nibs, malt loaf, wood and light charry/ashy note. The taste is dry, bitter, wood, varnish, leather, mild astringency, earthy, dirt, coffee grounds, burnt cake, charred wood and some dried fruits. Medium + body and soft carbonation. A bit chewy and earthy, but decent for style.

Bottle from Carringtons, Chorlton [131114]
Very dark brown, frothy tan head, good lacing
Aroma of very fruity dark malts, jammy tart dark fruits, no roast, plummy
Taste of jammy dark fruits, sweet sticky fruity dark malts, some bitter dark chocolate, getting some bitter spicy hop in there, quite complex
Palate - Soft carb, medium body, sticky quite sweet, some tart jammy fruits, liquorice. Finish of roasted malts, some bitter roast, soft dark chocolate
Overall - Very fruity malts in this, sort of a cross between an old ale and stout. Unusually over fruity malts, maybe a tad too much.
