30/10/2025. Cask at Norwich Beer Festival (Castle Social). Good looking beer. Chocolatey, malty aroma. Hoppy and piney. Toasted notes. Moderate sweetness, medium bitterness and body. Average carbonation. Bittersweet chocolate hoppy finish. Good.

A 440ml. can purchased online from Beautiful Beers while on a recent visit home, and drunk here in Taipei. Aroma: came as a surprise, vaguely citric, like an understated IPA. Appearance: opaque cola, one finger tan head. Palate: light-bodied, and slick, softish carbonation; finish is roasted and lingering. Taste: lightly sweet with an astringent note, a hint of pine. Palate trumps taste, ultimately lacks flavour.

Half-pint, cask ale, shared with Finn at Free Trade Inn. Almost black in the glass, solid lacing from a declining beige head. Roasted malty aromas, earthy, promising. Dark malt-forward taste with bread, biscuit, soot, and caramel sweetness, lactose backbone. Roasted, soot, ending. Fine depth to it. Nice. (Byker - Newcastle upon Tyne, 20.03.2024).
