Box @ Post Office Vaults. Pours misty gold, sweaty aroma. Taste is raw, bristlingly sour with a moderately coarse tannic nature. Bit too much on the sour side for me, would need at least a couple of pints for my palate to adjust.

500ml bottle from Cotteridge Wines. Pours a hazy gold, no head, still. Aroma is lightly sour orchard funk. Taste is lightly oily, strong Kingston Black character, nice robust fruit with a very mild tannic tang. Given how old and neglected this bottle looks it seems to have held up well.

Cask (backlog). Deep goldeny orange colour with no head. Aroma is sweet apples, some yeasty dry notes as well as some funky and mild sourness as well. Flavour is quite similar, but the sourness and mild vinegary notes make it a rather tasty sweetish sour and quite dry cider.
