Straw blond colour. A balanced malty golden ale with a strange (but not unpleasant) hint of broad beans. Not particularly wheaty or Christmassy though.

Hand-pulled half-pint in The Crown, Oakengates: 19th Nov 13. Pours a good solid, deep, dark brown, on top a tanned foaming head. Over roasted malts rule the nose: coffee with dark fruits on a chocolate bar. The taste was also leaning towards a coffee flavour with again dark fruit and chocolate notes: dry and semi-bitter finish. OK, there are some good Stouts out there at the moment, add this to your list of ones to try.

Gravity cask at the Wandsworth Common Halloween Beer Festival - Le Gothique, London. Pours clearish brown with a fine, tan foam head. Nice roasted coffee aroma. Light sweet flavor with moderate roast, more coffee, light bitterness, mocha, mild burnt rubber. Light to medium in body with fine carbonation. Moderately sweet to finish with dry chocolate, fine roast, some earthy coffee. Good.

Half pint, cask by handpump at Ye Cracke. Misty, golden body. Filmy layer, fragile lacing. Dry lemony hops to the nose. Taste of juicy malts as well as hints of peaches and grapefruits. Bittersweet finish. Likable, not too thin (Liverpool, 09.04.2013).

Cask at the Sussex Arms, Twickenham Green, 07/04/13. Clear amber with reddish hues topped with a thin off white head. Nose is vegetal, malt, pea soup - urgh ! Taste improves slightly but not a lot ! Tea leaves, light toffee, vegetal. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation lending towards a dry finish. Left half of my half - unbalanced veggy mess!

Cask at the Sussex Arms, Twickenham Green, 12/01/13. Hazed reddish brown with a good sized off white head. Nose is pretty bland, cardboard and paper, pale malt, light sugars, trace of fruit. Taste holds a little more depth, caramel, toffee, little grass. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation and some dry bitterness in the finish. Not one to revisit !
