500ml bottle - thin tan head on a deep black body, very delicate aroma for a stout, nice rich taste with smoky aftertaste. Not bad.

Hand-pulled cask ale, half pint at New Oxford in Salford. Amber coloured body with a slight haze. Fading white head, blanketing the glass. Aroma of sweet hops with notes of berries. Spiced fruity hops in flavour added by hony sweetness and a nice bitter finish. Rather well bodied, but perhaps a bit restrained in flavour (Greater Manchester, 05.07.2012).

500ml bottle - pours black with a respectable white head that laces down the glass. Espresso aroma, smoky and liquorice first taste, with an oily mouthfeel. Bitter after taste that holds for well over a minute a sip. It deserves a chance if you see it and are wondering "should I buy it?"... I would.

Cask at the Waggon and Horses, Halesowen. Pours dark orange with a small head. Aroma is bitter orange squash. Taste has candied fruit to start with a bitter hoppy orange finish. Lingering bitter aftertaste. A little watery.

Cask at Briar Rose, Birmingham
Light amber color with small creamy head. Light aroma of malt. Quite good malt flavor, with a cereals character, and strong bitterness, some hop aromatic presence too.
Very Pleasant.

19/3/12 - Wetherspoons in Woodseats, Sheffield. Ordinary number with an unremarkable body or taste. Far from offensive, but swift to move on to others.

500ml bottle - refreshing little number with a good level of citrus and tropical notes. Little thin, but made up for it with the taste.
