Almost black with thin head. Aroma and flavour have a lot of heavily roasted malts. Close to treacle toffee.

Cask-conditioned at the Postern Gate, York 21/8/2018. Golden in colour, with a tight, white, head. Hay, a touch of citrus fruits, lager-lie malts and a lingering, dryish finish. Good.

Cask @ Calans, Hebden Bridge. Deeper copper with a head. It's an all-round malty beer but in offensive in this respect.

On tap at the Royal Standard, Wooburn Common. A darkest mahogany pour with a loose cream head; aroma of burnt grains and licorice; taste of purple fruit, with some toast and licorice in the background; then dry and grainy with a light bitterness and a touch of treacle. Rather good.

Cask @ Percy Shaw, Halifax. Clear blonde with a creamy head. Fuller-bodied, it's a hoppy ale with a tangy fruitiness behind its hop.
