Cask-conditioned at the Bag O’Nails, Bristol 12/04/10. dark brown with a slight, off-white head. Malty aroma of caramel, dark fruit and roasted malts. Flavour was earthy, with cereal malts, more fruit and a decent bitter finish. Good.

Bottle that I picked up from the Dodgy Deli, Cowley Rd, Oxford Nov 2008. This is a fairly tasty amber coloured beer. Some sweet caramel and fruitiness and a slightly earthy bitterness to finish things off, likeable.

Cask, Newcsatle Arms, Newcastle Upon Tyne. Dark amber with a thin off white head. Aroma was malty with a small amount of fruit. Pleasant enough.
