Cask at The Craven Arms, Birmingham. Poured a deep mahogany with a broken off-white head. The aroma is weak roasted malt, leading to a medium bitter flavour with lots of roasted malt, chocolate, coffee and liqourice on a smooth palate.

Keg at Birmingham Beer Bash; cloudy amber pour with small white head, tropical hop aroma, quite juicy hop taste, citrus decent malt backbone carbonation is a bit light could do with more fizz.
