24-27/10/2023. From the Curiosity Bar at the 45th Norwich Beer Festival. Pours very dark brown close to black with a small creamy off-white to beige head. Aroma is cherry, chocolate, roasted malt, vanilla, caramel, custard. Quite sweet with light to moderate bitterness. Medium body, smooth, soft carbonation. Drying cherry bitterness to finish. Decent BFG action.

Cask at Smithfield, Derby (23/9/23). Pours a very dark reddish-brown with a small tan head and good lacing. As might be expected, oranges and chocolate in the aroma, plus some hints of nuts. In the mouth it is sweet and creamy with flavours of chocolate, roast malts and (to a lesser extent) oranges. Later on traces of cola and ginger come through as well leading to a slightly spicy finish. This is really rather nice.
