Draft at the Kernel Brewery on 26 October (should be brought out of retirement on RB, methinks). Poured a hazy dark amber colour with a large, tight off white head. Aroma of red ale hop bitterness, caramel and grass. Initial flavours of hay, pine and figs. Finish was hop resin, spruce and sweeter, chewy malt to balance. Nice!

Cask at the London Craft Beer Festival 2013. Pours brown with a fine, beige head. Pretty rich, true coffee character in this one. A bit of bitter coffee astringency, some cocoa, earth. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Moderately bitter dry and roasty coffee to finish. OK.
