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. The taste is bitter, spicy, muffin, resin, wood, varnish and leather with a dry, spicy finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Spice dominates this thing. Not very drinkable....

Cask at the NWAF, Derby, ’14. Amber pour with a white head. Sweet shop nose... halcyon inducing number. More fruit than sweetness in the flavour. Can’t detect toffee too much. Malty finish.

Gravity cask @ NWAF 2014, Derby. Black and opaque. Liquorice, coal smoke and dark chocolate aroma. Intense bitterness in the initial taste; very smoky. Sweeter finish followed by a bittersweet aftertaste. This is a naughty drink, and just shades it as beer of the festival for me.
