Cask gravity at Reading BF 2011. Black and viscous. Rather a good oily dark beer with some fruit. Not obvious blueberry but definitely there. Its tasty and good in the mouth. Lovely beer.

Cask-conditioned at the Bag O’Nails, Bristol 28/10/09. Pale amber with a slight white head. Aroma of summer fruits, sweet cereals and a vaguely sour edge. Flavour was a mix of fruit, biscuit malts, caramel and earthiness with a moderately bitter finish. An ok effort from a new brewery, but could do with a touch of refinement.
