Can from Lorna. It pours darkest brown with a khaki head. The aroma is rich and robust, dark roasted malt, toasty warming spice, nutmeg, cinnamon, clove, plump dried fruits, booze soaked raisins and definite Eccles cake vibes. The taste is quite crisp and dry upfront, dark roasted malt, earthy, toothy, light acidity, washed coffee, dried fruits, raisin in particular, fruit cake, touch of toasty sugars, festive spice and cacao nibs with a drying, toasty finale. Average body and fine, prickly carbonation. Captures the character of the infamous St John's Eccles cake. Interesting and quaffable.

Magus, mõru, vesine, linnaseline, kerge karamell, aga pigem maitsetu jook. Joodav.

(Cask at Cock Tavern, Hackney, London, 30 May 2025) Black colour with foamy, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with chocolate, milky coffee and dark bread. Malty, roasted, slightly sweetish nose with notes of chocolate, milky coffee and dark bread. Mild roasty bitterness. Light body, with a certain sweetness. Possibly a bit sweet, but tasty and well balanced mild. Nice one.

Can from lowcostbeer.com, consumed 4 months past BBE. Pours black with small tanned head. Aroma of all spice is the first thing that hits you, followed by a dark malt, molasses and raisins. Taste manages sweet, tangy and bitter combined. Dark malts come through quite rich, cardamon, clove and nutmeg are notable, semi-dry with cocoa dusting. Good but I'm more liking it than loving it, maybe slightly too rich for me.
