Cask. Dark amber, a one finger foamy white head. Aroma- dark malt hints, fruity, raisiny. More dark fruit in the taste, malty, an understated bitterness, quite a bit of toffee towards the end. Pretty good.

Red fruit in the aroma. Texture is quite thick and sticky. Sweet flavour, very fruity. There’s also a slighty oaky red wine sourness to this too

Cask Conditioned at The Bree Louise, London
Dark amber color, creamy head (some nitro in the pump). The aroma is quite light. Thin body, with a good dry caramel flavor, a reasonable bitterness and a very light fruitness. In the final there is a thin line of burnt sugar, over all.
