Cask at Square Peg, Birmingham. Pours a very dark reddish-brown with minimal (but lasting) tan head and good lacing. The aroma has roast malts and biscuits plus some hints of chocolate. In the mouth it is quite sweet with a creamy texture. Roast malts and chocolate in the flavour plus traces of vanilla with black wine gums and liquorice coming through later. A little bitterness in the finish. This is rather nice.

Bottle from Home Bargains. Clear amber with nicely formed off-white head. Aroma of malt, toffee, grass, moderate sweetness. It has quite a moreish sweet toffee, malt, burnt bread crust with a slight herbal and grassy hop finish. Decent bitter.
