Cask at Tapped, Leeds. Opaque copper gold. Thick foamy white head. Aroma has grains and a saline element with a vague hint of citrus. Flavourwise it's equally lacking. Sour. Earthy. Depressing. Light. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Rough stuff. Sad face.

Bottle from my brother – drank at home. Pours almost black with a sizable frothy beige head and good lacing. The aroma has a basic sweetness with oats, honey and roasted malts. In the mouth it is initially quite sharp with coffee and liquorice, but this soon mellows, to reveal flavours of dark fruits, oats and roasted malts. Traces of honey and vanilla come later leading to a fruity finish. This is quite decent.
