Cask gravity at Wallington 2014. It pours near black with a thick beige head. The nose rich roast, earth, big coffee, soy sauce, bovril and light cocoa. The taste is smooth, bitter, coffee, earth, roast, cocoa, light umami and mild acidity with a dry , roasty finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Great condition. Soy sauce nose is a bit offputing. Decent enough though.

Sampled @ GBBF. Very dark brown color, small off-white head. Smell and taste malts, roasted malts, lightly fruity, a bit sweet-bitter, a touch of red fruits and twigs as well as some caramel. Not very well mixed together. Don’t like it.

Cask at George, Croydon. It pours clear golden-amber with a small white head. The nose is rather spicy indeed, hay, earth, resin and biscuit.
