Cask-conditioned at the Seven Stars, Bristol 5/6/2019. Near black in colour, with a slight, off-white, head. A touch of leafy hop, darl berries, a demerara sugar edge, toasty malts and a lingering, bitter, finish. Good.

29th Jan 2019; half-pint (keg) in The George & Dragon, Acton. Golden body, slight haze, snow white crown. As you'd expect the Citra hop gave the beer a citrusy aroma and taste, the pale malts just tempering the bitterness down nicely.

29th Jan 2019. Cask half-pint at The George & Dragon, Acton. Red hue to the deep brown body, off-white/beige head. Aroma held chocolate and earthy notes with a trace of nuttiness, taste also had the same three main players; nice malty brew all round really.
