I’d need to try this again because the bottle I got up ended up incredibly flat and I’m sure it’s not meant to be like that. It could have been the way it got jiggled in the car driving it home from the beer shop but it’s not like it’s the first time. I HOPE it’s not usually that flat anyway.

Cask at The Anchor, Digbeth, Birmingham. Poured a slightly cloudy orange colour with a thin broken head. The aroma is warm and fruity. The flavour is very fruity and very slightly sour. It has a rich barrel aged feel to it but it I’m sure it’s not! A well drinkable Christmas ale.

[Cask at the Belle Vue, High Wycombe] Black with a small white head. Roasted malt with lots of coffee, liquorice and earthiness comethrough. Great balance, a good mouthfeel, a top notch easy drinking stout that was unusually sessionable for the style.
