Cask at the Greyfriar, Reading. Deep amber with a sparse and fraying white cap. Rather metallic up front before a mild fruity, orangey flavour comes through. Nice warm malt in the end with a little spice. Grew on me but the metal was annoying.

Had this at the Tipi Tent Bar at End of The Road Festival, Friday 29th August 2014 Fruity amber bitter. Traditional in flavour, appearance (amber) and aroma and quite straightforward middling bitterness. Fine. Btw I couldn’t see what the abv was and forgot to ask I would have suggested that it was ~4%. A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov12 3.1 Had this again on Cask, gravity at End of the Road Festival, Dorset, Friday 4th September 2015. Murky amber in colour with a few bubbtles skittering over the surface, a messy indistinct bitter that I wasn’t a fan of. Just for accuracy it was definitely 3.8% A5 A2 T5 P2 Ov10 2.4

At the Peacock Bar at End of The Road Festival, Friday 29th August 2014 Pours black with lacy, filmy thin covering tan head. Tangy, not as chocolatey as the description hints at, bitter chocolate, fruity with a roasty finish. A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov12 3.1
