A smooth, very dark, velvety bitter made with finest Maris Otter malted barley along with copious quantities of crystal and chocolate malts. A session beer with a flavour to savour.

Cask at the Henry Addington Canary wharf. A reddy brown coloured pour with a lasting speckled cream coloured head. Aroma is semi sweet nutty malts, toasted brown bread, hint of pine, berry fruits. Flavour is composed of semi sweet nutty malts, hint of liquorice, fudge, berries, red fruit. Palate is smooth and rounded, semi creamy, good cask condition. Nice. Had, a second pint.

Cask-conditioned at the Green Man, Bristol 1/12/2016. Deep brown, with a slight, off-white, head. Toasty beer, with a touch of chocolate sweetness, leafy hops and a moderately bitter finish. Fine.

On cask at Monsal Head Hotel. Appearance - deep amber to red with a creamy head. Nose - toffee, nuts and sweet malt. Taste - soggy bran flakes (not in a bad way), honeycomb . Palate - Overall - this is good and I’d say it’s more of a Scottish Ale in style.

Gravity cask at the Drayman’s Son, Ely. Very dark brown, a bit flat-looking with no head to speak of. Coffee and charcoal aroma. Focussed and intense. Taste starts sweet but the burnt coffee bitter pervades just after the initial sip. Body’s a bit thin and flat but it’s not the end of the world. I like this but... a bitter? Are you sure?
