Cask at GBBF 2015 - London. Pours clear brown with a foamy, tan head. The aroma holds ashy roast. Light sweet flavour, some cigarettes, dry cocoa, well roasted malts, earth. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Dry and ashy on the finish, more tobacco, burnt leaves. So so.

Handpull cask at the Coach & Horses, Wellingborough. Very dark brown, almost with purplish notes. Opaque. Cream-tan head leaves lots of lacing. Chocolate malt aroma with a slight medicinal note. Taste is sweet, smooth and malty. Ovaltine notes are slowly overcome by an insistent but polite hop bitterness. Bittersweet balance in the long finish, with blackberry, red grape and charcoal notes. Tasty mild.
