On gravity at the Bristol Beer Festival 14/3/08. Near black with a decent tan head. Sweet aroma of milk chocolate with some dark fruit and roasted notes. Flavour was also very sweet with lots more chocolate and a lactose finish. Good.

Cask-conditioned at the Hillgrove, Bristol 16/9/07. Amber with a decent white head. Aroma of fruity malt. Flavout started with some sweet malt before a dry, bitter finish. A drinkable session bitter but it doesn’t stand out.

Cask-conditioned at the Hillgrove Porter Stores, Bristol 1/8/07. Amber coloured with an off-white, lacy head. Grapefruit hop aroma followed by a similar flavour and a big bitter finish. The brewer used to work for Butcombe and this was like a hoppier version of their bitter. Very enjoyable.

Cask gravity at Reading BF 2007. Amber, thin beige head. Bit of caramel on aroma. It’s a bitter. 4 bitters in on the second day, and I was bored so I went to the foreign beer stand.
